Chinook, a 2 month old foal with the RCMP’s famed Musical Ride was just named by a Yellowknife youth. Her name is among nine for foals born this year, chosen from more than 5,000 entries in an annual contest where youth help find names for the adorable new born foals. “[Chinook] is Canadian. It means warm wind,” said Jerrett in the youth’s written description of the name submission.
