Born April 24, 2020, the second foal of the year is also a colt and has the same sire as Foal #1. Unlike his sibling, he's a little more timid and prefers to stay a little closer to mom. Mom is Spruce Meadows mare Skyline, who always produces great looking foals. This is her 4th baby. He was born chestnut in colour but may grey out as he ages as dad is the grey stallion Doremi.
Foal #2's name will need to start with the letter "A" inspired by Spruce Meadows Riding Master, Albert Kley. Albert's passion for horses brought him to Canada as a young man. He never intended to settle down in Canada, but Spruce Meadows co-founder Ron Southern convinced him. Albert brought with him knowledge and skills that would be passed on to all of his students and help create what is now the Spruce Meadows Horse Program.
