I'll be entering the raise a foundation contest. Can we request a breeding pair?

I'd like to participate in the mascot contest! I'm busy during the dates of the raise a foundie contest so I don't think I should sign up in case I don't have time Dx

My mascot submission
(I think you'll recognize him, Demure :P )

Edit: do I send the 1k to you then? Not sure how I transfer money to a club

I edited in answers to your questions to the original post for everyone's benefit :)

@Sonoma - yes!
@ tolarie - My boy! Click on the Club Bank dollar amount below the club chat box and send the money under "Donate to Club"

These are my entries for mascot:

Giant Meteor

Dancing Stars

I also want to do the foundation contest, and would like to request a pair. The only things I'd prefer not to have are greys and confo under ~55. :)

Will go send money now.

Mascot entry! I sent him in for registration and send the money!
ϻ chaotic cunning. :)

Ooooh lots of contests!

Mascot entry:
Time Warp

Donated 3k--two for raise a foundation, one for mascot.

I'd like to request contest mare 10 and stallion 4 if they aren't already claimed for the raise a foundation contest. 2k already sent. :) (If they're already taken I'll take any pair of horses, confo and color aren't too important).

α2 Genetically Geeky my mascot contest entry. 1k already donated.

I'll enter the Raise A Foundation contest! If they aren't already taken, may I have Contest Mare 3 and Contest Stallion 3? Sending 2k now! :)

EDIT: Accidentally sent the $$ twice, if you could send the extra back that would be great! :)

Suggestion: for the art collection contest, I think it would be more interesting if there was a theme or prompt.

I donated 2k for 2 foundations to raise. I'd also prefer the chestnut foundations lol maybe you should do a random drawing.

I'm entering the raise a foundie contest ^.^
Just sent the 1k. Could I get stallion 5?

Hey folks, just responding to messages and locking up for tonight. I'll go through foundation requests asap and they will be accepted and renamed in the order I received them as soon as I am able to log in for a bit! Thanks everyone!

I added two studs to the stud book.

Good luck everyone on raising your foundation!!
