Doctor Mark at Walt Disney World shared photos and information about the two newest foals of Tri-Circle-D Ranch at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.
Two New Foals at Tri-Circle-D Ranch
Two adorable new members have joined the herd at Tri-Circle-D Ranch near Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground at Walt Disney World, named Sprout and Finn.
Pictured above is Finn, one of the two new babies at the ranch.
He is a Shetland pony foal and features brown and white markings, with a predominantly white mane.
Sprout is the second of the two foals, born on Earth Day and named for this special coincidence. He is also a Shetland pony.
He looks like he’s ready to explore his new home.
Doctor Mark at Disney shared the following about the foals:
Our ranch hands have had some extra fun on their hands lately! Over the last two months, we’ve welcome Finn and Sprout, the two newest Shetland pony foals to join the herd at Tri-Circle-D Ranch at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.
Sprout was born on Earth Day and was named after the celebration! He’s the second pony to be born this year, joining one-month-old, Finn.
These two independent and inquisitive foals join the nearly 90 horses at Tri-Circle-D Ranch, who delight our guests each and every day through pony and horseback trail rides, wagon rides and private carriage rides.
