Six foals were born this spring at the RCMP breeding farm in Pakenham, Ontario and Mounties are now seeking suggestions for their names.
Alas, Horsey McHorseface won't qualify. To enter the RCMP "name the foal" contest, proposed names must begin with the letter N and be no more than six letters long.
Also, the entrants must be 14 years old or younger and are allowed only one entry each and they must be received by July 8.
Winning names will be chosen by instructors of the RCMP Musical Ride branch and will be announced in September.
Prizes include a signed Stetson worn by a Musical Ride member, a framed picture of the foal, T-shirt, pins and more.
In the event of duplicate winning names, the first entry received will be accepted.
Entries can be submitted at www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/name-foal-contest or by letter postmarked no later than July 4 and sent to The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride Branch, c/o RCMP Name the Foal Contest, PO Box 8900, Ottawa, ON. K1G 3J2.
