Our orphaned 2021 filly out of Lady on the Run came home to @osullivan1939 today, a week after she was born by c-section. We've paired her with Little Bop Peep, a barren mare who has taken quickly to her stepdaughter. Fingers crossed it works and please pray for a good result! pic.twitter.com/dFXgCOAFoy

Bonus Cute Animal of the Week:

Every week we feature another adorable animal in addition to our cute foals. Here are a pair of penguin chicks getting their check-ups shortly after hatching.

Penguin chick alert! Two fuzzy new Magellanic penguin chicks have joined the colony this nesting season, contributing to a Species Survival Plan for these near-threatened birds! pic.twitter.com/eAWjU0KPTP
