January 1 is the traditional time for foaling season in for Thoroughbred breeders. As baby horses emerge throughout the spring, we’ll be featuring some of the cutest and most notable newborns we see featured on Twitter. Come back every Sunday to start your week off right!
This little lady has such an eye-catching face. Her father is Jersey Town, who won the Cigar Mile, and out of Christmas Cove, who won nearly $75,000 in her career:

This sleepy son of Regal Ransom is out of the mare Pyrite Lady – we’re thinking his owners are going to have a great time naming him with that royal lineage!
