Hay, What's Your Name???
Dear Partners and Friends,
I can't say enough for this year's naming committee. They have been thorough, creative and successful.
Below you will find the approved names of seven of our eight colts. The eighth (Harlan's Holiday) has been submitted, but we are waiting to hear back. So here you go:

Broodmare |

Donegal Moon On clear nights the night sky Moon reflecting off the Atlantic is said to be incredible in Donegal. |

Curlin |
Royal Tigress |
Storm Cat |
Paschal This is the colt that was born on Easter morning, as his Mother died during childbirth. The Paschal mystery at Easter time gives rise to the name. The literal meaning of Pasch or Paschal is "passing" as in passing by or passing over. A horse that passes by the others is not all bad ;). |

El Prado |
Prized |
Paddy O'Prodigy |
|
Unbridled's Song |
French Dip |
Speighstown |
Tradfest Tradfest is a huge music festival held each year in Dublin. Which is where Speightstown won horse of the year honors his three year old year with a victory in the Irish Derby. We also liked the play on words if you change Tradefest to Treadfast. |
|
Stormy Atlantic |
Bells Are Ringing |
Sadler's Wells |
Ballagh Rocks Ballagh Rocks is one of the many lighthouses on the (often stormy) Atlantic that has lights and loud bells. |
We hope you enjoy the new names and we will let you know as soon as the final name is approved.
Jerry (On behalf of a terrific committee!)
