This may be a 2015 foal, but I'm a little biased - Liberty Twain DF, aka Pippa, aka my redheaded child! Photo thanks to Sherry Stewart.
Nothing says spring to me like a Facebook feed full of foals. Baby animals are always a winner, and baby horses rank in my top three of all time (sorry puppies, elephants and giraffe’s have you beat.) While it’s obvious to anyone that knows me, my maternal instinct isn’t exactly strong. Yet foal season triggers something deep inside me, and my fiancé has finally realized that when the computer is open and I start cooing about how cute the babes are, I am talking about the four legged kind!
I always tried to tell my parents that a baby pony would be perfect for Easter – after all, there were plenty of chicks and baby ducks and bunnies. Sadly for me, the Easter Bunny didn’t know how to ride and a horse was too big to put in a basket. At least, that’s what my parents told me. But I am still able to enjoy all the beautiful colts and fillies that are coming into the world right now – the future of our sport, full of hope (and adorableness).
