'Foal Cams' Go Live At Delaware Valley University Stables In Bucks

DOYLESTOWN, PA — The Foal Cams are back and streaming. And they are poised to capture the miracle of birth at Delaware Valley University in Doylestown.

The Pennsylvania Horse Racing Association (PHRA) is again partnering with Delaware Valley University (DelVal) to host its annual Foal Cams initiative.

Foal Cams allow the public to view a live stream of three expectant mares as they prepare to give birth to what could be the next Standardbred stars in Pennsylvania harness racing. Free of charge, the foal cams are running 24-hours-a-day at www.pennhorseracing.com

“Foal Cams is one of our most popular initiatives, and we are thrilled to have Delaware Valley University as a partner again this year,” said Ashley Eisenbeil, marketing director for the PHRA. “We look forward to being able to offer the public this unique educational opportunity to experience the birthing process and learn more about the state’s equine industry.”

The 2026 Foal Cams will follow three mares as they go through the birthing process. All three are participating in their third year of Foal Cams and are currently projected to give birth in mid-March.

"Thistle Dhu," a 15-year-old Standardbred trotter, will be having her tenth foal this year with "It’s Academic." Her due date is March 10. "Ocean Love Potion", another 15-year-old Standardbred, was bred to "Devious Man" and is due on March 11. Finally, "To The Good Life," a 16-year-old Standardbred trotter, is having her eighth foal, this one to "Six Pack." The foal is due March 19.

Delaware Valley University offers an Equine Science and Management Program that provides students with hands-on experience directly on campus at its Equestrian and Breeding Center. The program is among the top in the country because of its direct access to horses on campus and continued hands-on learning.

Through the program, DelVal Equine Science and Management students have the unique opportunity to follow the mares from pre-birth care to the birthing event, and beyond to November when they appear at the Pennsylvania Standardbred Horse Sale in Harrisburg.
