RCMP Name the Foal contest

Hey kids, we have a contest just for you! The Musical Ride’s Breeding Program has welcomed new foals born at the RCMP Breeding Farm in Pakenham, Ontario. We’re asking for your help in naming up to 12 of these adorable foals. Wouldn’t it be cool if 1 of the foals you name is part of the world-famous Musical Ride some day?

Contest details

The contest starts April 3, so get your imagination in gear. To qualify, you must:

be 14 or younger
submit a name that starts with the letter “W”
enter only once
live in Canada
enter by no later than April 21, 2023, at 11:59 pm (Eastern Standard Time)

The RCMP Musical Ride will choose up to 12 winning names from across Canada. This includes 1 classroom entry and 1 entry from the Musical Ride’s Open House in February.

We’ll announce the winners and winning names on our website and social media between May and June. Each child who wins, as well as the winning classroom, will receive some great RCMP prizes.
