Foal Friday · 6:13pm Feb 12th, 2016

Got a day off here and it's colder than a Windigo's withers, so I'm going to borrow something from Whirlaway's page on my Facebook feed,

Foal Friday,

A way to start our weekends with a little warm fuzzy cuteness.

So as this is a FiM site, how's this for a tie in reference;

Meet Mac, born January 25 at Warm Springs Ranch.

He's the first foal of 2016 for the Budweiser Clydesdales, and one day he will certainly be 'Big' Mac, at around 18hh and about a ton standing on hooves 20 inches (50cm) across.

Happy Foal Friday!

He looks like my Shire when he was a foal! Except... different colors... :twilightsheepish:
