When people mention “royal” celebrity children, they often think of kids like Princess Charlotte or Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter of Beyonce and Jay-Z. However, the animal kingdom recently also has its own celebrity birth.

At 4:30 in the morning on March 19, the Warm Springs Ranch in Boonville, Missouri met Jake the foal for the first time.

Although his beginnings were humble—falling into a pile of sawdust—the beautiful horse immediately got on his hooves and enjoyed his first meal. Born to show business family, Jake will take on the great legacy of work as a Budweiser Clydesdale.

With beautiful white markings on his face, it seems as though he will fit in with the team quite easily. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

However, it’s going to be a long time before Jake will be pulling a carriage for Budweiser or cavorting on commercials.

The little guy will first spend a lot of time with his mother, learning the tricks of the trade before he is weaned so that he can assume his place in this most royal of equine families. With beautiful, big brown eyes, the gorgeous Clydesdale mom seems as pleased as punch about her new addition. Although he looks rather leggy at this point, it seems as if he’ll fill out in no time, allowing him to become as strong and proud as his glorious forefathers.
