Q: Before you start making your icing, place a large metal bowl and the metal whisk attachments from an electric mixer into the freezer to chill. Your whipped cream frosting will come together and hold its shape much easier if your cookware is chilled.  If you don't have a metal bowl, it's fine to use plastic. However, it's best to use metal, as metal bowls will help insulate cold whipping cream, which makes for a more stabilized icing. Be sure your bowl is large enough to hold 2 cups of whipped cream without overflowing. The following recipe makes about 2 cups of whipped cream icing, which is typically enough to frost a single layer cake. If you're making a double layer cake, and plan on using whipped cream icing to frost in between your layers, double the recipe to guarantee you wont run out of frosting. While your cookware is chilling, mix ½ tsp (2.5 ml) of powdered gelatin with 1 tbsp (15 ml) of water in a small bowl. Stir the mixture with a spoon until the gelatin is dissolved, then set aside. Remove your metal bowl and whisks from the freezer, and combine 1 cup (237 ml) whipping cream, 1 tbsp (15 ml) confectioner sugar, and 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla. Do not add the dissolved gelatin at this point. Leave your whipping cream chilling in the refrigerator right until you start mixing. Using your electric mixer, whisk the cream, sugar, and vanilla together on medium speed for 3 minutes, or until the mixture starts to thicken. A thickened product will appear to have a greater volume than your original ingredients due to the air you are whipping into the mixture. Once your mixture has started to thicken, add the dissolved gelatin and continue whisking on medium speed. The gelatin will act as the stabilizing agent for your whipped cream icing, so once you add it, the mixture will continue thickening and holding its shape. Once 3-5 minutes have passed, check to see if peaks have started to form in your mixture. Lift your whisks from the bowl, and watch what happens to your cream. If the whipped cream stands straight up at the spot where you’ve removed the whisks, then your icing is finished. If the peaks are still soft, continue mixing for 1-2 minutes before checking again. Avoid over-mixing your ingredients, as they might separate and become spoiled. Reserve ⅓ of the mixture to decorate your cake with piped designs. Once you’ve filled the icing bag, place it in the fridge to chill while you frost the cake. If you’re not planning on decorating your cake with piped icing, skip this step.
A: Chill your cookware for 10-15 minutes. Double the recipe if you're making a double layer cake. Dissolve the gelatin into room temperature water. Add the remaining ingredients to the chilled metal bowl. Mix the ingredients on medium speed. Add the gelatin and continue mixing for 3-5 minutes. Stop mixing when stiff peaks form in your icing. Spoon ⅓ of the cream into an icing bag and set aside (if desired).

Q: Often, breed registries have rules or guidelines for the registered names of horses. Run an online search for any rules that might govern the naming of your type of foal. (For rules on naming a thoroughbred racehorse, see Method Three). Don't run the risk of using their name without permission! Horses' registered names may be derived from those of their sire and dam. You can run an online source for registered horse names. Consider taking the registered name of your horse from the registered names of the horse's parents. In horse breeding, lineage means a lot. Of course, naming your horse after his mom or dad could also have sentimental value. Cabot French Pepper and KVA Hi Time, for example, may lead to a foal named SP Peppertime (in this case, 'Cabot,' 'KVA,' and 'SP' are all prefixes used exclusively by the breeders for their foals). If you don’t particularly care about deriving a name from your foal’s parentage, consider coming up with your own name. Some factors you should consider when naming your horse include appearance, personality, and what you are hoping your horse will do.  Appearance: Does your horse have a unique marking, or a beautiful color worth naming him after? For a horse with a white streak down his forehead (known as a blaze) you might consider naming him Wild Fire or When Lightning Strikes. Personality: Is your horse affectionate, wild, or just a tad mean? A nice horse could be named Honey, a wild one named Midnight Madness, and a mean one named GrumpsMcGee. Occupation: Is your horse going to race? Get featured in parades? Give kids rides? Think about what your horse will do. If you are racing your horse, give her an attention grabbing name like Dream Supreme. If you are a stallion owner, you will be receiving a registration application in the mail when you breed your stallion. If you don’t have one of these applications, you can find the downloadable version online. The information you will need to know to fill out this form includes:  Date foaled Breeding method Embryo transfer date & number Dam's name and/or registration number Current breeding reports Foal description including 5 photos Six foal name choices Other foal information Tax ID or social security number This is when the horse is registered with the breed organization; be careful not to change a horse's registered name if he already has one-- most organizations frown upon this.
A:
Consider his breeding and pedigree. Many barns and breeders use prefixes for horses they breed. Know the traditions observed when naming horses. Come up with an original name. Fill out the registration application. Note when the registered name of a horse is set.
