Thanks for this, !!
It’s foaling season, which means it’s also time for one of our all-time pet peeves — incorrect terminology.
One of the most common mix-ups we see is the phrase “out of,” and it makes us twitch. So if you’re referring to a foal’s parents, remember this, folks: a foal can only be OUT OF a mare and BY a stallion/stud.
Think about it. The foal literally comes OUT OF the mare when it’s born (no, we’re not going to debate this by discussing what came out of the stud to create the foal).
So, make sure that you know your foal came out of its dam and was by its sire. Or at least pretend you knew it when making your social media posts from here on out.
Happy Friday, y’all!
