Thoroughbreds in North America all celebrate their birthdays on January 1, so as soon as the New Year rolls around, so does “foaling season” – that magical time that lasts from the beginning of January through the late spring when racehorse babies are born. In this weekly piece, we’ll bring you the best of new arrivals to the Thoroughbred world!
This little daughter of Trappe Shot and Return the Jewel already knows how to work the cameras – look at that side-eye!

Sleepy foal + tiny plaid blanket = absolute adorableness. They should teach that equation in school.

Here are the same mama (Sultry Katrina) and her daughter by stallion Friesan Fire enjoying their first day outside together. Looks like all of the other expectant mothers are jealous!

It seems like it was a good week for fillies! This little daughter of Heidi Maria is by Paynter, who galloped his way into fans’ hearts after overcoming a horrible illness to run and win again. The foals of 2015 are his first!

This baby is brand new in this photo! If you wonder why the daughter of Curlin and Walkwithapurpose is has a reddish hue in the picture, farms keep overhead heat lamps in their foaling stalls to make sure the new arrivals are comfortable.
Our first foal of 2015 has arrived! Please say hello to our Walkwithapurpose filly by Curlin! #MDBred #homebred pic.twitter.com/6HMwrrGYvQ

We’re in love with this son of Congrats and Win Crafty – it may have something to do with his very fuzzy ears.
