Foal Patrol Presented By National Museum Of Racing And Hall Of Fame: Elate’s Mothering Style Runs In The Family

Since its first season in 2018, millions have tuned in to Foal Patrol around the world for a behind-the-scenes look at what daily life is like for in-foal mares and foals. Learn more about Season 5 featured mares at www.foalpatrol.com.

Foal Patrol has partnered with the Paulick Report this season to bring you closer to featured mares and foals and to ask farm staff questions about their care and health before and after foaling.

In this episode spotlighting Elate at Claiborne Farm in Paris, Ky., Paulick Report staff ask Claiborne's Mary Ormsby, “How does Elate's mothering style compare to her own mother's?”

Elate, her mother Cheery, and her grandmother Yell were all born at Claiborne Farm, and they were foaled out by the same member of the farm's staff. This means the team had plenty of past performance to project how Elate would handle herself as a mother when she had her first foal last year.
