Have Your Vote – Let’s Find the Favourite Foal of 2017

Tara Madgwick - Friday December 15
Voting is now open for the Reader's Choice favourite baby from the 2017 Breednet Foal Gallery sponsored by Vancouver, so read on to see our top picks and have your vote.

First of all we'd like to thank everyone that participated in the Foal Gallery this year with beautiful babes from all over Australia and New Zealand making this one of the most popular features of the Breednet website.

Last year's winner was an eye-catching picture of this Animal Kingdom (USA) colt from Jessolaura, sent in by Willow Park Stud.



Here are our top six candidates for 2017 featuring another white foal which is our fourth in a row from renowned white beauty The Opera House, whose earlier white foals were a filly by High Chaparral (now a winner in Japan), a colt by Shamexpress and then another filly last year by Charm Spirit (IRE).

Go and look for yourself at our 2017 Breednet Foal Gallery and vote for your favourite below.
