Since the first week in February, eight foals have been born to mares at Iowa State's horse barns in the northeast corner of campus. Manager Codi Burris said she expects a total of 23 foals this spring; the last is due in mid-May. Twenty of the mares are Iowa State horses; the other three are horses bred and boarded at the Iowa State facility. The foals of Iowa State-owned mares are for sale. Photo by Bob Elbert.
