Dug

(PHR IDOLS CANT TRUMP THIS)

 

This guy is 3 years old - and shares the same daddy with all our other unicorns

 

He’s a palomino, like the others but he’s also a pinto (which means he has big white spots too). He was born in 2020.

 

Dug (named after the dog in the movie “Up”, representing unconditional love, loyalty and sweetness) is from California.

 

He was an accomplished show horse, winning World Champion and other Grand Champion awards. We know his calling is to spread joy with his unicorn friends.

 

 

 

REMI

(LM IDOLS REMINGTON HAWK)

 

Remi is our #1 Unicorn.

 

He was born in Texas on 4/20/2016

 

Remi is 34" tall (measured at the last hair of his mane)

 

When he's not on unicorn adventures, Remi is a winning show horse.

 

He has won World and National Championships in both

Halter and Driving.

 

 

 

Remi's favorite treats are Red Bird Peppermints and baby carrots.

 

 

WHO WE ARE:

 

My name is Karen Rudolph and I’m the founder and CEO of The Unicorns Project Inc. I’ve been an avid horse lover since I was a toddler. Horses have been an important part of my life and I have owned them since I was 13. I’ve always had a fascination with unicorns so in 2018 when my oldest granddaughter requested that a unicorn come to her 5th birthday party, my imagination took flight, and I transformed one of my Miniature Horses into a mythical unicorn. I suppose that was a precursor to this unicorn passion of mine.

Our board members consist of a group of unicorn loving ladies who want to be part of this vision – oh, and also a very tolerant husband who isn’t much into unicorns but is fantastic at finances.

 

 

WE ARE OFFICAILLY A 501(c)(3) so ALL DONATIONS will be tax deductible. We VERY MUCH appreciate any and every donation, regardless of size!

JONI PONY

(OLYMPIAN LM IDOLS JONI HAWK)

 

Joni is A-MAZING

 

She is Remi's paternal sibling. She arrived from Texas in November 2020 and has settled right in.

 

 

She was born in April of 2019.

 

 

In 2022, Joni took the summer off from unicorn-ing to hit the show ring -

 

 

and BOY did she knock it out of the ballpark!

 

She is now a multi 2022 AMHA Regional Champion, Reserve Grand Champion and GRAND CHAMPION Stock Horse!

 

On top of that cake, Joni is a 3x AMHA World Champion & 2x AMHA World Reserve GRAND CHAMPION!

 

Joni was back showing in 2023, garnishing many more big trophies (including 2x Regional GRAND CHAMPION Stock Mare and 3x AMHA World Champion- SHE IS ALSO THE 2023 AMHR STOCK HORSE OF THE YEAR!

 

 

 

HOW WE BEGAN:

The Covid pandemic in 2020 changed lives. Kids were attending school remotely,; many adults were working from home, and SO many others were housebound and sad.

Early in the pandemic I purposed to add some joy to our community, so I began taking my unicorns for walks, every day. We’d walk to the local church, police station, local food bank, back roads and elementary schools. We’d walk in public view and each day we’d meet many lonely people (while social distancing and wearing masks!). EVERY time, they would walk away with a smile like a breath of fresh air.

And The Unicorns Project began. The phone started ringing. We’d go out each day and small crowds of people would gather to meet a unicorn.

Unicorn lovers of all ages, from toddlers to veterans (and even the priest from the local church) left a bit more joyful because of their unicorn interaction.

It is obvious, people NEED the joy that our little unicorns bring.

OUR UNICORNS:

Most of our unicorns are current or former show horses. Many with multiple World and National Champion titles. Each has qualities that make them perfect to bring joy to others. Fun fact – ALL of our unicorns have the same sire; a stallion named Billy Idol!

 

 

TINKER

(LM IDOLS TINKER TOY)

 

SO excited to acquire this little doll!

All the way here from ARIZONA, this girl is honestly the perfect unicorn!

 

SWEET, TOLERANT AND LOVING!

 

 

She's a paternal sibling to both Remi and Joni.

If that's not meant to be, I don't know what is!

Tinker is 6 years old and just 30" tall, that makes Tinker our tiniest unicorn!

 

 

 

THANK YOU, DEBRA EMERY - CEDAR CREEK MINIATURES FOR MAKING THIS MATCH HAPPEN!

Help Feed The Unicorns

EVERY DONATION HELPS!

 

Hampstead Unicorns is a not for profit magical organization.

We never charge for unicorn sightings and visits.

Since CoVid19, we have brought smiles and joy to over 1,200 kids (and lots of adults too)

We've helped celebrate dozens of birthdays and made hundreds of dreams come true for those wanting to meet a "real" unicorn.

 

Our plan is to expand our reach and be able to travel to share our unicorns with the community. In order to do this, we'd love to purchase a cargo van to transport the Unicorns.

Our dreams are big and we've already expanded our unicorn roster to FIVE amazing little unicorns!
