2025 Contest Details
How to Enter
To enter the Contest, email your entry to helovesmestables@outlook.com before the deadline (30 days after the birth dates of the foals). The birth of each foal will be announced here on our website, as well as emailed out to our contact list. After we've received your entry, we will respond to let you know you are entered into the contest!
Each entry must include the following:
• Name of Contestant
• Phone Number and Email Address of Contestant
• Your chosen Registered Name of the Foal
• Meaning of the Name or reason for choosing the Name
• Optional: Suggestion for a barn name
Name Guidelines
• A horse's registered name is often more than one word, although it doesn't have to be.
• A horse's registered name is how the horse is introduced at shows and will be on the horse's pedigree, while the horse's barn name is what the horse is called "in the barn" or at the farm, everyday. Not all horses are registered, but these foals will be.
• He Loves Me Stables will register the foals under their chosen names and then decide what the foals' everyday "barn names" will be, most likely (but not always) based on their registered names.
Here are some name examples at He Loves Me Stables:
• Registered name: Lili Chantecler
• Barn Name: Lili
• Registered Name: Happy-Feet SCF
• Barn Name: Peso
• Registered Name: Wings Like A Star
• Barn Name: Estela
• Registered Name: Prairie Brae Reno
• Barn Name: Reno
Selection Process
He Loves Me Stables staff will choose the winning name from all the entries. The staff who are choosing the winning Name will not know who picked what name, so be sure not to tell the staff your name in person when you visit He Loves Me Stables:)
Names we are looking for are original, suit the foal, and have a special meaning.
The Winning Name
The winning name will be chosen for each foal by He Loves Me Stables one week after the close of the Contest (30 days after the birth date of the foals). Once a name has been chosen for a foal, "HLMS" will be added to the start of the name and the foal will be registered under his or her new name.
Prize Details
Along with the prize of having your name on the foal’s registration papers, each winner will also receive a He Loves Me Stables sweater and a Name the Foal Contest Winner insulated water bottle. Your picture with the foal will also be recorded in He Loves Me Stables’ Records of the Name the Foal Contest Winners.
