I am beyond thrilled that Guaranteed Gold has been selected to represent "Selen" in a new series of books authored by Brittia Gueriec, aimed at the 7-12 year old crowd
There were some amazing and beautiful stallions entered into the competition to find "Selen" - some I had never heard of before and many that really bear watching in the coming years as they enter the show ring and the competition arena for the first time.
It will initially be released in Europe, in French, but Brittia will also look at launching it in North America in both French and English as well
A BIG "Thank You" to our own ACC Photography - Audrey Crosby McLellan! She has taken some amazing pictures of Guaranteed Gold on her visits to our farm and it was in these pictures that Brittia fell in love with GG and felt he would be the perfect "Selen" for her books. Depending on Audrey's schedule (and arm!) we hope to get her back out sometime this year to get some updated pictures that could be used in future editions in the series
Take a look at the trailers on her FB page as well - some well known cremello stallions were used to depict the vision she had for these books
SO pleased to receive this news! It is going to be a fun journey for sure!

I have NO idea what the literal (or intended) translation would be
French was not one of my strong subjects in school!
I'll ask Brittia what the intended translation should be or maybe its just one of those names that doesnt translate equally well into another language

That's my guess. Maybe it means untamed or something like that. I think it's awesome that your boy was chosen though. There was some tough competition but he really was a stand out.
Selen is the German name for Selenium

Brittia *should* be translating it into English as well. I am hoping she will launch in North America at the same time or shortly after Europe and of course English would make more sense for this market
Neat the meanings of Selen that you have come up with!
