ASSATEAGUE – Assateague Island Alliance, friends group of Assateague Island National Seashore, presents a rare opportunity to “Name That Foal.”
Enter the Name That Foal Charitable Raffle for a chance to name the wild Assateague horse, currently known as “N2BHS-AL,” a pinto filly born in December 2013.
The foal was a “Christmas surprise” and despite the polar vortex and being born in the winter, she is surviving and thriving on Assateague Island.
“N2BHS-AL” along with her mother, “N2BHS-A” (“Gokey Go Bones”) are both part of “N9BM-E” (“Yankee’s”) band and can be seen often in the developed zone of Assateague Island.
The raffle will be held through Labor Day weekend with the drawing on Sept. 1 at Macky’s Bayside on 54th Street in Ocean City. Winner does not need to be present. Name is subject to approval and may not include any licensed or copyrighted content.
Donation is $20 per ticket and only 500 will be sold. All proceeds benefit Assateague Island National Seashore. Tickets may be purchased at the following locations: Macky’s Bayside; Paws and Claws, West Ocean City and 118th Street, Ocean City, and Zenna Wellness Studio in Berlin.
