RCMP opens Canada-wide contest to help name the force’s newest foals

The RCMP is looking for help from children 14-years-old or younger to name the national police force’s newest foals.

Born on the RCMP’s breeding farm in Pakenham, Ont., these horses will end up being a big part of the RCMP’s national fleet and could even potentially become Musical Ride horses.

The RCMP has started a contest for children to suggest names for up to 10 of the adorable foals.

Help us #NametheFoals because, let's face it, we could all use some cute baby horses right now. Visit our web page to participate: https://t.co/Vpwex715kh pic.twitter.com/dYY7wQf0Qg
