Pathanapuram: The Kuryattumala Hi-Tech Dairy Farm at Pathanapuram is buzzing with excitement as Thoofaan and Meera, the farm’s beloved horses, have welcomed their baby. Visitors have flocked to catch a glimpse of the dark brown foal, born with a distinctive white spot on its forehead. The newborn is yet to be named.

Dr Suresh Kumar, the farm superintendent, said the foal was born after an 11-month pregnancy and is a Marwari breed, showing all the typical features of this breed.

The farm currently has four horses, including two imported ones, Maya and Naksos, both with full documentation and passports. Dr Kumar also highlighted that this is the first time a foal has been born at a government-run farm in the state.

Visitors can enjoy a three-round horse ride here for just ₹50, and the farm also offers a horse-riding course for ₹5,000.
