The most beautiful moment as a horse owner is to witness the birth of a newborn baby foal. Getting to see one of the most innocent but at the same time, a heart-melting creature in front of you is definitely emotional. I think it might be the second most beautiful thing after an infant baby. I am sure not all of you will agree on that. As soon as the baby foal comes to our world, it does not take much until it tries to get control of its legs and move around.
Definitely one of my favorite moments. If you are a parent of a little child as well, nothing can be more adorable than watching your child and the newborn foal spending time together, especially when they kiss and hug each other, nothing that can be cuter than that. It is great how parents try to push their children to spend time with animals because it simply makes these children’s childhood better.
Animals can be really helpful in boosting your children’s confidence which is really important to build it at such a young age. Let’s focus on our story and the adorable but at the same time, rare Cleveland foal who is the first to be born in 16 years, which is crazy. The Coach and Livestock Program at Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia excitedly announced their newest addition this week. A rare Cleveland Bay foal was born on April 28, and it’s the first foal born at the facility in 16 years.
The foal’s mother, named Fudge, and his father, Lord Brigadoon (lovingly called Clarence), reside at Colonial Williamsburg and play roles in educating the public about 18th-century transportation and animals. They also represent their rare breed and showcase a type of horse that was seen often in colonial times but is now considered at risk of extinction.
The total number of registered Cleveland Bay horses in the U.S is only 182 and the birth of this baby foal might be really helpful to boost the population of the breed and prevent its’ extinction. A lot of horse breeds worldwide are risking extinction and the major reason why we have come to this situation is definitely the human activity who are risking their future in different ways the most popular one being environmental changes. Let’s hope all these endangered breeds jump out of the list in the near future.
