Same sire, same dam, hold onto your horses, it’s Faversham! The old phrase that lightening doesn’t strike the same place twice is a sham. In fact, it is totally wrong, some places get struck over a hundred times a year and all we Chromies really want is one more time, one more chance. California Chrome has 3 full siblings and we are hoping the youngest has what it takes to follow in his brother’s hooveprints.

The new year is here and it’s about time for a foaling frenzy! Due to the January 1st birthday, that all Northern Hemisphere Thoroughbreds must share, it is of upmost importance that no newborn be born prior to that day but we see a rapid upswing in foals thereafter. A few foals have already made their arrival. Literally, several hundred per sire are on the way, fathered by the most popular of studs. Most horse farm tours are open to stallion visits but naturally the very pregnant mares and new foals are sheltered and protected. My best chances, for now, of seeing the babies, is at the sales. With the majority of the broodmares currently pregnant there are usually a few who give birth while they are in the sales barns. I am hoping to see some of the newest foals to the Thoroughbreds, we love so much, tomorrow. Read on to see which foals I am in most anticipation of as I am foaling in love.
