And that makes 4 - new horse purchase...

[millikins]

Billie. As in Holliday which is girly and Smart's Circus because she is a bearded lady :0

 

[abb123]

How about Dax? That way it is non-girlie and is more of a shortening of her name than a complete change.

 

[Ebenezer_Scrooge]

Dixie, Roxy?

 

[atlantis]

After reading all of this I really like magpie, shortened to Maggie!! Or what about little miss magpie?!?

 

[landyandy]

just call it hoss, I also like tikka

 

[LittleOwl]

How about Annie (as she's passported Romany)

 

[landyandy]

Roma is good too

 

[sasquatch]

I've always thought Cash was a good name for a cobbie

I've also come across cobs known as Magners, Budweiser and Guinness.

What about Stella, as in Stella Artois?

 

[Sven]

Following on from Oreo, how about Hob Nob

 

[Sandstone1]

Following on from Oreo, how about Hob Nob

Or Dodger as in jammy! Penguin, borbon, mcvitie! Galaxy, ripple. River.

 

[Ibblebibble]

whats the name of your local pub or his favourite tipple?

 

[HBB]

Widget? Pixel? Sprocket? Scooter? Tosca?

 

[Meredith]

Domino ??

 

[Lolita]

Teddy.

 

[Wagtail]

She looks like a Sophie to me. Love the last pic. She looks a character. Personally wouldn't back at all until next year though. She looks quite immature. I don't like backing when they are still bum high as the back will be out of line and prone to permanent damage (think kissing spine).

 

[Fides]

Well she is home - had to walk her 3 miles down a busy road which for a 3yo who has done nothing was amazing! She wasn't even bothered by the flapping flags and bunting

In her new stable

She leads lovely being led by my novice partner

When we put her out she had a look round and just ate!

All in all I'm really pleased with her - for a 3yo she's superb!

 

[Fides]

Other half has decided she is Romy so her name isn't changed too much

 

[Sandstone1]

That's nice, I knew a Roma once. She was a skewbald cob.

 

[exmoorponyprincess1]

Your hubby has better choice in names than mine - he can't wait to get a cob to call it Cornon ... with it's "posh name" to be Cornon The Cob *rolls eyes and sighs*

Very good!!!

 

[kez81]

Aw she is lovely Fides, she has kind but intelligent eyes ( number one thing i look for in a horse!) I personally wouldn't back her til next autumn though with her being that bum high. I suspect she is going to have a massive growth spurt come next spring so would wait until she is much more level then back and ride away gently over the winter. Keep us posted on her and your OH progress, they are in for some fun!

 

[Penny Less]

She looked like a horse I knew called Sabrina

 

[Bojingles]

Tiffin!

^^^^ Mabel :biggrin3:

My dog's called Mabel. I love old fashioned human names for animals. The sort you don't hear of any more (hence Mabel). The only problem is as soon as I name an animal a daft granny name it becomes fashionable. 10 years ago when I named my boy, there were no human Archies, now they're everywhere and I've started to hear of the odd Mabel too.

My next animals will be Mildred or Maud for a girl and Ralph, Geoff or Winston for a boy.

She looks lovely. I think she looks like a Matilda - although that's another name that's becoming fashionable for babies again!

And sorry to hijack Dakota's thread, but how's the little one getting on?

 

[Pinkvboots]

Grace or Gracie

Henri short for Henrietta

Ruby

 

[Annagain]

I see she has a name now, ignore me ^^^

Hi guys - no more updates from me. I've been told I am talking rubbish one to many times now. I have a wealth of experience and am sick of jumped up little kids thinking they know it all. I don't need to be part of this nonsense - it's just getting me wound up for no reason and I don't see why I should need to justify myself to strangers on the Internet. I've found I offer more advice than I ask for, which when told I'm talking rubbish, is a total waste of my time.

I now have a 6yo that I am competing, a 5yo that I am getting ready to do WH next year and a 3yo to get ready to back. Oh and not forgetting feral foal, Oreo. I have plenty of work on my hands with them. I'll take my 'rubbish' advice and use it myself on my own horses

To all of you that have been a delight - thankyou. All the best to you all

 

[Fun Times]

Um, not sure what has happened but I always enjoy your threads fides. Glad the newby has got a name and is settling well. Although I think you should consider swapping her name to Kev or Dave so your OH can just tell his mates he has been out with Kev or Dave!

 

[Equi]

I was going to say i would stick with the romany name, romy is perfect! well done hubby lol
