Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra and her six-day-old foal, a colt by two-time Horse of the Year Curlin, were taken to Rood and Riddle Equine Clinic in Lexington on Friday as a precaution for pain management related to the brith, a release from Stonestreet Farm said.

Rachel Alexandra is under the care of Dr. Bonnie Barr who said both mare and foal are doing well.

“Rachel has proven to be an extraordinary mother and taking to her feisty colt right away,” said owner Barbara Banke of Stonestreet Stables. “I’m a Rachel-chondriac. We are taking every precaution to ensure that Rachel and her colt are healthy and happy.”

Rachel Alexandra and the foal are due to return to Stonestreet Farm in a couple of days.

I think people were just concerned because the statement was a bit vague and many people don't know about mares that have recently foaled- I certainly don't! Thanks to everyone who explained a bit further and eased fears.

Some of these comments are straight out of the X-Files. Thanks to the actual horse folks for letting us know that this is not an unusual happening. Most broodmares do not have a fanbase that obsessively hangs on every breath she takes. Lovely baby.
