As a young foal, HYPE felt out of place in his herd, and he felt as if his calling was elsewhere. HYPE knew that he was unique, as he was the only one in the herd with 12 twinkle-like birthmarks scattered across his face and hooves. While migrating across Wyoming and Montana with the herd, HYPE kept searching for his true calling.

One day a family traveling cross-country stopped alongside the road to admire the large herd. One of the children in the family, seeing this unique horse, cried out “Hey look at that very special horse, it has twinkle-stars and a North Carolina patch on its face!” From that moment on HYPE knew his destiny would be in a place called North Carolina. Our very special foal, HYPE, left the herd.

Trusting his instincts, HYPE headed towards the rising sun through fields, mountains, and cities. His travels took the little foal trotting around the bases of the Field of Dreams in Iowa and prancing through the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, both of which instilled great passions.

Traveling further South to escape the cold Northeast winter, HYPE heard the rumbling of machinery and clanging of cranes off in the distance. What could it be but a new baseball stadium and team? Yes, indeed! His calling now had a destination. Baseball and Rockers fans in the state called North Carolina, the 12th State in the Union, the same number of twinkle-like birthmarks across his body, was where HYPE felt at home. Our very special foal had found his new herd.

Being officially adopted by the High Point Rockers has given HYPE’s life new meaning and purpose in cheering on the team and fans and creating a new home in which to reign!
