We just couldn’t wait to share these photos: We have another foal! This colt is actually the fourth foal born in 2022 so far. The two we haven’t announced have not yet made their public appearance so we’ve been respecting their privacy.

This little guy’s mom brought him out for the world to see today, and we were able to get some great photos. He was born yesterday.

His father was Hurricane, who we very tragically lost last summer after he got tangled in some wire and suffered heat stroke. It was such a devastating loss, but this colt reminds us that life truly does go on. We’ve chosen the name Cyclone for him, in honor and in memory of his sire.

Please remember you must stay at least 50ft away from the horses at all times. However, we highly encourage everyone to give them even more space, especially this time of year. Stay in your vehicles and stay safe. Mares are in season, herd dynamics are unstable, and stallions are only thinking of one thing.

These horses are wild and unpredictable and can be very dangerous. It’s also critically important that mares and foals have space and peace to bond and grow. We implore everyone who visits the 4×4 to follow the rules for your safety and for the horses’ safety.
