We Have a Colt!

Posted bySusan K. MarlowPosted inHorses, Just for Fun

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!

  4. I think a good name for the colt is Thomas because he looks like he is thinking “I think I can, I think I can” like thomas did.

  7. um I had three ideas. Duke, Prince, or Lightning. He could be Midnight. Sorry my mind is full of name ideas! 😉

  12. He is so sweet! I suggest Herbert. I love the episode of Wagon Train called Herman. A sweet old man takes his big draft horse out west for his health. After that I thought it would be so sweet to have a little pony called Herbert.

  14. I like Cooper!! The colt might change color like his mom 😂, and Cooper is not a color-specific name. Cooper seems a fitting name for a colt that is strong and adventurous!!
    My little brother thinks Cooper as well! I’m so happy for Mini Mae and the colt!

  20. Congrats on the colt Minnie Mae and Kristi😊💕
    I think you should name him Caesar after Andi’s dad’s horse🐴

  35. I think the colt should be named S’more because it has light brown for the Graham crackers dark brown for the chocolate and white for the marshmallows.

  38. He is sooo cute! Congratulations!! 😍😁 Since his mom’s name is MINNIE Mae, I think the colt should be named Mickey. Mickey means “who is like God”. – Evy H
