Foal Names???

It's time to start thinking of names for Sasha & Wilma's foals and we'd love to hear your ideas!  If you'd like to submit your suggestions please post them in a comment below.  Please submit 2 names for each mare - one for a colt and one for a filly.  On April 15th we'll list the top 5 names in the poll on the right and choose the winning names based on the poll results.  Before you start be sure to read the naming rules below:

Most horses have an official "registered" or "show" name which will be used on their registration papers, as well as a "barn" name.  Their barn name will most likely be given once we have actually met and spent some time with the foals but we'd at least like to get some ideas for their registered names.

Registered names are usually chosen based on the name of the stallion or the year of birth depending on the breed of the horse.  Sasha is a Holsteiner and the rules for this breed are

Only 50 Days To Go!

Day 270:  First day of Spring and all is still well with Sasha & Wilma.  They are HUGE and waddling around their paddock.  We're getting the foaling stalls ready and they will be moving into their extra large stalls this week.

By now the fetuses should look like foals and be about the size of a large German Shepherd.  They have  full coats and a swatches of hair on their tails.
