Shows a hammer price of $37,000 ... I turned in two hips too late in the stream to actually see them though. :-/

It's amazing how calm they are with all that hullabaloo going on around them. Looks like the buyer is Hurricane Hills.

Ramsey Farm
We had our first Kitten's Joy foal of the year here at Ramsey Farm. A gorgeous sweet filly weighing in at 129lbs. Her mother is Megachurch.

I saw that in several places. "Greed, that's just wrong, those people should be shot, the baby is going to die, etc."

Ahem, at his owners: pics or it didn't happen!

Excited about this kiddo.

ETA: Yikes at those ill-informed FB comments. Lord almighty. Foal and mare show zero signs of distress. The foal doesn't give a crap about what's going on as long as momma's chill, and momma is very chill. Had to laugh at someone saying the foal's tail was "between his legs." Err -- they're not dogs.

My favorite is: Foal is clearly stressed, has it's tail tucked between it's legs.

Because horses are exactly like dogs.

Sorry, not the right thread for this news. This is the little guy born last year with medical issues and folks weren't sure he'd make it, let alone get to the races. Bloodhorse has pictures. I'm excited about him too.

Oh, thank you! I got my brain mixed up and just now realized he was her 2015 foal. I should've known that, considering the whole "three months ago" thing. Regardless, great photos.

Comments comments. They are so silly. What happened to foals in the wild? They got up within an hour, and got moving... These horses are going to live a life of human handling, this is nothing.

the foal has the butt strap, and as we see his hind end at least part of his tail is under it. did they miss that or... ??

They probably have little clue as to what exactly a butt strap is or what it is for.
