We Have a Colt!

Minnie Mae finally foaled! Who knew it would take this long? He is huge but healthy and happy.

And the Winner Is . . . Ruth Anne F.

Seven days ago, Ruth Anne guessed June 6 and a colt. He was born around 7:30 pm last night, June 6 (Monday). Two others guessed June 6, but both guessed a filly. They are Julia B. and Hannah. Good job on the dates, ladies.

Ruth Anne receives the Circle C calendar and the Circle C keychain flashlight. Thanks for playing, and I hope you all had fun. Now . . . on to the next contest! Keep reading.


Name the Colt Contest

You are invited to help Kristi name the new colt. Which means it’s time for another giveaway! In the comments, share which name you think this adorable little one should be called.

NOTE: I received 106 names, so in order to give Kristi time to thoughtfully consider which name she thinks fits the colt best, I have closed this contest a few hours early. Thanks for participating and watch for the colt’s name on Tuesday! Comments are now closed for this fun contest.

The naming contest is open for one week (June 7 – June 12). After that, Kristi (age 9) will choose the name she likes best for Minnie Mae’s foal and I will post the winning name on Tuesday, June 14. You may offer ONE name, not an entire list.

Don’t forget! If you do not include an email in the box before you post your comment, I will not be able to contact you if you win, which means you will not win anything even if you “win.” I’m so sorry if this happens!

The Prize

The winner whose name Kristi picks can choose one thing from the Circle C store (since you all seem to like that option for prizes).

Now, enjoy this gallery of newborn pictures and the 2.5 minute video and think about a name you believe fits the baby best. Have fun! Kristi and I can’t wait to read what you come up with!

Just born
How did this big boy fit inside her?

  1. SO happy for you guys and Minnie Mae!! I will be praying for the little minnies

  2. Awwwww!! He’s sooo cute!! I’m glad that Minnie Mae and the colt are okay! Do we leave our name on this page?

  3. Maybe Goliath. Because he’ll be quite a bit bigger than his mama.

    1. How about Spirit? He looks so lively and strong.
      Or “Hans” short for Handsome.
      Thanks for sharing- he’s beautiful 😍

      1. My name is Grace and I think the name Brownie would suit him. He’s so cute!!!

  4. My name is Aurora.
    My idea for his name: Brownie
    If I win I would like the Circle C Adventures Travel Tumbler!
    Thanks for doing this!!

  5. Oh my goodness I loved that video! Such a big colt for a little pony!

  6. How about Nutella? <3 So excited he was FINALLY born!!! πŸ˜€

  7. I think that the foal’s name should be Coco like Andi’s pony.

  8. awww!! Congrats! Maybe procrastinator? Just kidding, lol! I think Caesar is a nice name for him ❀️❀️❀️🐴🐴🐴

  9. I think he gotta be called Courage, because he was born later then we though. he had the courage to live. So did Mini Mae. Such a cute foal, good job guessing Ruth Ann!

  10. Maybe Spirit or Coco? (I didn’t copy Fallyn. I had this idea before.)

  11. My first thought on the name of the colt was Silky.
    When I asked my younger brother what he though after I showed him the pictures, his first thought was Tiny. Don’t ask me why.

  12. Hi. My name is Hannah. I think the name should be Jupiter since he’s such a big boy and Jupiter is the biggest planet. πŸ™‚

  13. Such a little cutie! I think that I would name him Cole, for his dark black main and tail.

  14. Congratulations!
    This is so exciting!
    I was thinking Mighty Star.

  15. He is adorable! I think his name should be Amigo. Can’t wait to hear what his name is!

  16. Hi, my daughter Felicity thinks his name should be Remi (it’s French) πŸ™‚

  17. My little sister says Augustine
    and my little brother Star πŸ™‚
    About me: Sugar πŸ™‚

    And great job Minnie! Finally!

    Congratulations Ruth

  18. I think Florin would be a nice name. Its a type of coin used in Britain, and it represents how much of a treasure this little colt is.

    Lizzy (Elizabeth) T.

    1. How cool! Florin is a boy name in Romania, my birth country πŸ™‚

  19. Our name suggestion is
    Peanut

    Congratulations on the little guy!!

    1. That is an adorable name. Its one of my favorites! I wish I had thought of it.

  20. I think the name Treasure would fit him nicely! Because he’s a little treasure to the world!

  21. Oh my goodness!!! 😁😁😁He is so beautiful!! Congratulations!!! πŸ₯³ πŸŽˆπŸŽ‰Um maybe Jonah because he was so stubborn???? I showed the pictures to my brother William and he suggested Robin.! Tell Minnie May that I’m so proud of her!! πŸ‘πŸ»

  22. I think he should be named Champ for his bravery, and stubborn will. All characteristics of a champion.

  23. I suggest Beric : ) He is absolutely adorable. Do you have guesses for what breed his sire might have been? And did you get Minnie Mae while she was pregnant? I’m newer on here.

    1. We have no idea about his sire. Minnie Mae was a rescue mini-horse from Oklahoma. Yes, she was pg when they bought her last November.

  24. Abby likes the name Peanut Butter
    Katie likes the name Midnight, like Riley’s horse

  25. I think the colt should be named Autumn Blaze! I know he wasn’t born in autumn, but I really liked the name.
