Wanted: A new name for this horse
The band America had a hit song called "A Horse with No Name" and, dag nab it, folks: We've got that situation right now in Fresno. The Big Fresno Fair on Monday announced their donation that helped the Fresno Police Department acquire another horse for its four-footed fleet. (You can see video of the event here from Bee photographer Craig Kohlruss.)
The male horse was formally introduced, all spruced up and resplendent in his saddle and other gear. He's six years old, a lovely shade of brown and still in training. For now, he's called "Judge," but he needs a new name. You know, one that speaks to his crime-fighting profession or maybe just the way his looks speak to you. Or maybe something that reflects his last home, Los Angeles.
A naming contest will be held at the fair, which runs Oct. 1-13.
Won't you please help? The best I can come up with is stuff like "Fresno Fred" or "Fleet Street." I'm not exactly flowing with originality.
Anybody got some ideas?
