"Droogies!

As many of you may know, a few years ago I bought my first horse; a Friesian named Cassandra. You may also remember the trauma I went through when she foaled her still born colt, which in the end killed her too. And not that this doesn't happen - it does - it's just that this was my first horse, and this isn't normal for first-time horse owners to lose both foal and mare the first time.

Well, thank God for insurance and a kind Dutch Septuagenarian named Bob DeBoer (aka Papa - who said he adopted me into his family of red-heads), because I was able to get a new horse named Matsje. There was one difference; Matsje was a much more valuable horse and he sold her to me for considerably less, which was the only amount the insurance covered.

The big news is I am proud to say that Matsje has delivered a newborn colt for me. Papa bred him to his approved Stallion Ouke and while Pam didn't know about the pairing's outcome (she knows more about horses than I do), I knew it would be badass AND that it would be a colt again.

SO, here's where you come in. He has to be named, and it must be a choice starting with the letters "w, x, y, or z."

I want to ask you to help me name him. It will be something like my choice of "Z" as in Zorro der Mustaine of the Friesian Connection.

_____________ der Mustaine of the Friesian Connection.

His picture should help you name him...

Yee-Haw!!!"
