The furry, delightful brown foal that captured the attention of social media users in the UAE over the past few days has now been named 'Joy'.
And no one is more delighted about it than 23-year-old Saudi-Syrian national and UAE resident Semah Jamal.
When Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council, posted an image and videos of an exuberant foal a few days ago, he asked UAE residents to come up with a name for him.
Semah's suggestion 'Joy' was chosen by the Crown Prince, from among a long list of other names.
A freelance costume and brand designer, Semah told Khaleej Times that she is over the moon with her suggestion getting picked. "I am happy I got to name one of his ponies, especially with a name as positive as 'Joy'," she said.Sometimes you just need a little bit of "Joy" ?? ????? ????? ??? ????

Semah says she got the idea for the name from Sheikh Hamdan himself. "He wrote 'joyful' about the pony and it looked full of life, so I suggested 'Joy', as simple as that. I also didn't expect to win the competition. It was just a comment I posted on the picture, when I was on my way to work.."
A graduate in design management from the American University of Sharjah, the young designer stated that she loves animals and would love to meet Joy one day. "I love animals and horses in particular. I don't have any of my own, but I would really love to meet Joy one day," Semah added.
