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 son of Medaglia d’Oro and Secret Heart is royally-bred and very cute, too!

This little guy is a stunner! He’s a son of Tiz Wonderful and Taunt, and at only 10 days old he already looks like an athlete!

And probably the most hotly anticipated birth announcement of the week: it’s a girl! Zenyatta welcomed a daughter of War Front at 12:03 AM on Sunday, April 20. Looks like love at first sight to us!
