He Loves Me Stables is excited to announce our Name The Foal Contest of 2026!
All are invited to submit one name per foal, to be considered for the foal's registered name.
In 2026, we are expecting one foal, from our Welsh Pony mare, Merrylegs.
See below for the Contest Details.




Merrylegs is a 2019 silver dapple Welsh Pony cross mare standing 13hh with a stripe and two hind socks.
Merrylegs has lovely smooth movement in all her gaits.
Merrylegs is a fun little pony who loves to please you when she can. Being quiet on the ground and energetic in the saddle, she is the perfect mix of spirit and gentleness.
Merrylegs is a unique colour with a poofy silver mane and tail, while boasting a gorgeous shiny dapple grey coat in the summer.

Flash is a 2010 Chestnut Arabian stallion standing 14.2hh with a stripe and 4 white socks.
Flash is a big mover with strong bone, big hocks and a strong, well balanced body. Nice big hip and great bone paired with large, dark eyes!
Flash has a loving and easy-going personality! He is respectful on the ground and has a great mind to work with, being easy to train.
Flash has amazing movement and athleticism, good conformation, as well as some chrome!

To enter the Contest, email your entry to helovesmestables@outlook.com before the deadline (30 days after the birth date of the foal). The birth of the 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 stable name
• A horse's registered name can be one word, or more than one word.
• 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 stable name is what the horse is called "in the stable" 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 "stable names" will be, most likely (but not always) based on their registered names.
Here are some name examples at He Loves Me Stables:
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 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.
Along with the prize of having the name you picked 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.
