He's the one that started all of this.....

A quick note for all of you. We celebrated our oldest sons College Graduation this past weekend and I thought you might enjoy seeing a picture of the person responsible for getting me started on eBay.
He now has two Associate of Applied Science Degrees to his name and is moving forward to a great future. We are very proud of what he has done and the direction he is going. Thank you Daniel, for all your hard work!
As a reminder; just in case you have not yet voted on a name for our first new foal, the link is at the bottom of the previous post. Be sure to let us know your thoughts as we will be collecting the names for voting in just a couple of weeks. This is a Special Invite only for our Friends/Breyer Collectors.

Lots happening so stay tuned....

Foal Naming Contest is Here for Breyer Collectors


Sorry for the delay folks, I have been swamped. However, now it's time to get this page out to you so you can offer your suggestions for names!

The idea for all of this came about from one of our long time readers of the Breyer SpotLight. When I posted pictures of our new foal on Facebook - Celia asked about a contest to name him. So here we are.

Now there are a couple of things that I must explain about naming a Quarter Horse foal.
  • First: we have to pick 6 choices in case any of them are already taken.
  • Second: it is customary to try and work the name of the Sire/Grand Sire and Dam/Grand Dam into the foals name.
However, my husband and I have not always followed the custom. Such as when we named our AQHA Artful Investment Granddaughter last year. She is named "Red Legs Dancing". What can I say? It fits.

So with this guy, his sires name is:
  • Face It Im Good and is a son of Zippos Mr. Good Bar.

and his dams name is:

  • O'Lenas Fancy Freckle. We do request that the words Fancy and Freckle are NOT used in the foals name.
Other than that, it is open. I was thinking of naming him "A Breyer Inspiration". :-)

Oh, the other thing is that there is only 20 spaces available for the spelling of the name including spaces in between.

Now all you need to do is look at the bottom of this post and click where it says "comment" then leave your idea. In the next 4 weeks we will gather all of the names that have been offered and post them to a survey at the top of the page. Then everyone can vote on the most popular. From that we will find out what his new name(s) may be.

Thank you everyone! Have fun!
