According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, the word foal comes from the Old English word fola meaning “young horse,” which is probably descended from the word pulo, meaning “young of an animal” in an ancient language from about 5,500 years ago that was probably the ancestor of all European languages. Pulo may be descended from the root pau meaning “few, little,” as in the word paucity.

Spring is the time to celebrate foals! If you have foal photos you’d like to share, submit them using the form below and I’ll feature the best ones here on ilovehorses.net. Foals from any year are welcome, and of course all breeds are encouraged. Please include the photographer’s name so I can give credit. You may include the foal‘s name and breeding if you’d like.

Photos may be resized, cropped, and/or color-corrected. There may be limited space for captions or descriptions.
