Class of 2025 Updates
First Vet Visit, First Measurements: How Our New Colt Is Settling In
A first vet visit for our new little colt as he settles in after the sale including his first official height measurement. A mild fever last night and a bit of nasal discharge today are being closely monitored, but his appetite is strong, his demeanor is exceptional, and this first exam brought far more reassurance than concern. Next up: bloodwork results and what they tell us about his baseline health.

From No Bid to Foal to Forever: Welcoming a New Colt to the Farm
A no bid colt at the Keeneland January sale found his way to Horse Husband Stables as part of the Foal to Forever Class of 2025.
This behind the scenes update introduces him, follows his journey from the sales ring to the farm, explains why some horses go unbid despite real potential, and shows how long term planning and Foal to Forever protection guide every decision at Horse Husband Stables.
How the Class of 2025 Is Connected to the 2025 Claiming Horse of the Year, Surprsinglyperfect
Yesterday, the 2025 National Claiming Horse of the Year was announced and the Class of 2025 has a direct connection. Surprsinglyperfect and A Dozen and Won (Thirteen) are half brothers out of the same dam, Elusive Surprise. This update explores that connection, Surprsinglyperfect’s remarkable career, and how intentional retirement planning brought Thirteen’s dam safely to Mareworthy Charities after weaning.
Weaning in Motion: From First Walk to First Turnout
Weaning is not a single moment—it’s a carefully managed transition. This update follows the weanlings through several key stages of that process, with three videos that show how each step was handled and why those choices matter.
In this update: Video 1: Thirteen’s First Walk — From the Big Barn to the Small Barn, Video 2: Meeting the Babysitter — Freja in the Barn Aisle
