Snapshot Saturday #10 - Name the Baby Contest

For this week's Snapshot Saturday, I thought I'd share our good news of the week. Those of you who follow know that we have been waiting on our mare to foal for a month now.  A horse's gestation period is 11 months, but it is not usually to the day, which means they usually go 11 months & 11 days, or more.  Ours was the "or more."  Well, early Monday morning, we got the phone call, "You have a baby!"  It was the news we'd been waiting to hear.

Cat, our mare, has been in Angleton, at the vet's, since right before the rodeo.  we knew we weren't going to be home much, and the girls would be there to watch her if she foaled.  We made it through rodeo with nothing, and then last weekend, while we were there, she bagged up really big, so we thought she was close.  We were right!

Here is our new little girl...

 

No, she doesn't have a name yet.  Our mama is Doc's Top Cat (Cat), a sorrel and white paint horse, and her daddy, our vet's stallion, is One Cool Customer (Golden Child), a sorrel paint horse.  The names in parentheses are their barn names.  When we get ready to register the baby, we have to turn in 5-7 registerd names that we like.  They don't care about the barn name, that's just for us, like a nickname.  So far, I think we've decided on the registered name, but can't seem to come up with a barn name, so for now, we're just calling her "little girl."  

That's where you come in.  Will you help us name the baby?  Just leave your name suggestions in the comments.  If we use yours, I will send you a $10 Amazon or Powell's gift card, your choice.  If we don't choose one of your suggestions, I'll put all the names in a hat and draw a winner for the gift card, just for helping us.  Sound like a deal?  Let me know what you think.  I will be sure to post her name, along with a new picture, once we have one.
