The public has voted, and the 'Name the Pony contest has concluded at the Weyburn Therapeutic Animal Park.

Fitting to a pony who captures hearts, the name that won with the most votes was 'Romeo'. 

Board president with WTAP, Jodi Larson, said votes were done in ballots and online raising around $200.

"We really appreciate everyone's interest and participation in helping choose his name. We had a lot of really great choices, and I think he got a really fitting name, because he's a pretty sweet, handsome little guy," she commented. "I'm liking that he'll be able to be called by his specific name for the rest of the time we have him, and going forward." 

She said the funds raised will go toward continuing to operate the park. 

"Romeo was by far the most favorite, so that's the one obviously that everyone felt was most suiting, and I think the community picked a really good name."
