  NAME THE FOAL Contest

 The 2010 Name the Foal Contest will be online beginning June 1, 2010 -
stay tuned to the website!

Spruce Meadows, along with CN and Sun Media, is pleased to present our Name the Foal Contest. It is a tradition that has become a fan favourite at Spruce Meadows, with literally thousands of great ideas coming in from thousands of great people. People of all ages join in on the fun in the hopes that that name they choose for their favourite colt or filly will carry the young horse to greatness!

After the closing date, a panel of judges will then review all of the names and choose the one that best suits the personality and appearance of each foal. If a winning name is entered by more than one person, a random draw will take place to determine the winner.

Congratulations to our Winners!  

Entries for the 2009 CN/Sun Media Name the Foal Contest are now closed. We received over 86,000 creative entries from over 27 countries around the world! The judges had a tough challenge going through all of the wonderful names suggested.

The winning names are:
Foal #1- CHILLI PEPPER
Foal #2 - LASTING IMPRESSION
Foal #3 - SPILLED MILK

You can scroll down the page for more details and updated photos.

The names of the three foals must begin with the first letter of their sire's name. This declares that these foals are of Hannoverian lineage traced through the father's line in the centuries-old Stud Book. During show jumping competition here at Spruce Meadows, many of the top horses you see carry the Hannoverian brand. In fact, Hannoverian breeders have done an excellent job in developing a superior breed in the Hannoverian for over 250 years. That is why Spruce Meadows has chosen the Hannoverian Warmblood for their breeding program.
