Beautiful! Rachel looks grand and her foal is an adorable colt. Foals are such endearing creatures. Thank you

Love them all, but I think 4 is my favorite of the colt.

I just love the babies. This boy is really a nice one. I could not decide, I think I like the one of him by himself stretching out while running. Can't wait for next years foal.

I think Rachel's foal shows a little more depth & width of chest than she does (thanks to Daddy Curlin), but he has her beautiful fluid motion. Congrats to Stonestreet Farm for making him already so gentle & kind. That will go a long way when his training begins. My wish is for the three of them (Curlin, too, of course) to stay healthy, sound, and happy. Now I can hardly wait for Zenyatta's foal!

Rachel looks so happy to be a mama, all dappled out and full of beans! Thank you for showing us something many of us will never see any other way. Good luck to this handsome baby and his wonderful mom.

Anne, the picture with the bridle tag on Rachel's colt is my favorite. I don't know if you remember me, but I was at the last Visit Rachel Day, and I brought the tags for Rachel and Hot Dixie Chick as gifts. I've already ordered the print.Thank you for posting the pictures.

Great photos of a beautiful mare and her foal. I love the profile picture of Rachel and little Curlin. He looks like a winner! Best wishes for continued good health for both of them.

Thank you for the wonderful photos of Rachel and her foal! Motherhood becomes Rachel and the little guy is just adorable. Some might say Mr. Jackson was unwise to breed her to an unproven stallion. But he sensed they would create something special. Sometimes you have to go with those gut instincts. Kudos to him, look what the beautiful result of his dream is. I bet he is smiling down from heaven. :)

I love the pictures of Rachel Alexandra and her foal. He's going to be one of the most handsome foals in this fleet of foals. And I am glad that Rachel Alexandra is enjoying her new found foal.

Anne, it's just impossible to decide on a favorite! They are ALL great! Is it possible to purchase these photos in one package? They are ALL terrific! Rachel looks absolutely magnificent (love her dapples!) and her foal is SO cute it should be against the law to have such an attractive mother/son combination! Only kidding! Love them, Anne, and thanks for taking the time to post these and thanks also for your great photography!

Love these photos! #2 is a great shot and shows how much he is set up like his Momma. Curlin's two rear socks though.

For the record - Bloodhorse can't dwell too much or too often on Rachel Alexandra as far as I am concerned. Or Curlin. Or their cutie pie baby boy.

Oh how I wish Mr. Jackson could have stayed with us long enough to enjoy this foal. <deep sigh>

I particularly like numbers 6, 8, and 14 showing Rachel and her colt in motion. All the photos are lovely. Thank you for capturing the images and sharing them. I am happy to see Rachel looking healthy and strong. When Hot Dixie Chick and her foal join them in the paddock, will you take photos of interactions between and among the mares and their foals?

Absolutely beautiful collection of photos. #3 is my personal favorite, but there isn't one to dislike in the bunch. So far this colt looks like a runner, beautiful bone, robust knees and hocks, and so much leg! It will be fascinating to watch him grow. Thanks to all who made it possible for us to see these pictures!

#6 is the most beautiful photo but I love # 12 also. What a joy all the photos are. I'm very grateful to be able to see Rachel A. as a new mother with her sweet foal. I hope the baby will be as fast as his parents.

These photos are treasures! rachel looks fantastic- less than a month after foaling, she is lean and dappled out beautifully. And that baby- just awesome! Thank you.

Wow these are just gorgeous!!! What a beautiful little guy he is!! Rachel looks simply stunning, healthy and happy, running with her boy. Thanks so much for these. They made my day. It will be wonderful to watch him grow up.

Wonderful pictures. I think my favorite is #14. I see both Mom and Dad in this very special little one. May he grow up healthy and sound and may he always be safe.

Thank you! Rachel looks as though she really enjoys being a mother and playing with her foal! I think I like pictures 5 and 6 the most. He does look like a little Curlin!

Simply gorgeous, mother and baby. This is one of the reasons why I love this sport so much.

Anne,

Thanks, great photos. I really like #6, poetry in motion. He's starting to look like a 'little Curlin.'
