I was absolutely thrilled today to get an email... I think it says it all...
_____________________________Dear friends,
We have chosen "Gaspard de la Nuit" as the name for the first US born colt.
Eleven of you suggested it. We love the sound of the name and its meaning!
As promised, we would like to send you a photo montage of the baby and Ravel with Steffen's signature.
If you would like to receive this prize, please let us know which address to send it to.
Thank you again!
Akiko, Steffen and Willy

I am so happy to receive the montage and happy to see a horse hopefully in the future with such magnificent owners. I hope to see the foal on the telly someday!
I had sent the previous suggestions:
1. Gaspard de la Nuit
(Composed by Maurice Ravel - man in charge of the royal treasures: "Gaspard of the Night")
(Composed by Maurice Ravel - man in charge of the royal treasures: "Gaspard of the Night")
2. Bolero
(Maurice Ravel [composer] is perhaps known best for his orchestral work Boléro )
3. Galuppi - italian composer
4. Ravelian
5. Gambado - a leap by a horse
