Boggle- USA bound!

[equinerebel]

He reminds me of a chestnut gelding in my barn, who has more personality and fire in him than any of the others combined.

If he passes the vetting, I think you'll have a lot of fun with him.

Michen,
I hope the chestnut passes the vetting too.

On a wider note, I must say how so many of us have become invested in your story. You’ve had some incredibly stressful times and the fact that you have still continued to post must mean something. I’m sure I’m not the only one who looks out for your posts. I found myself enlarging the photo of the chestnut to see if indeed he has a cute face. He does . Then I thought what am I doing, I don’t even know this person or the country or ever likely to meet.Does any of this matter?
Of course it does. You’ve shared so much with us.
Good luck with your little herd and I’m sure which ever new arrival will enjoy coming on your journey with all of us tagging along too, of course

It’s a testimony to you all that anyone cares about my mad ramblings and ridiculous drama I guess some people have perfectly curated instagram accounts (I don’t, just boggle videos), or do travel blogs and I just post on HHO lol. I’m not actually sure how I would have got through some of the last two years without HHO, and not because I don’t have plenty of wonderful in person friends who have been so supportive but there’s something about posting here that’s been been an incredibly important outlet. Everyone has been very, very generous with their time.

Thank you for caring!

I’d also like to add how happy I am to read this. I can only imagine how shattering Bog’s diagnosis was and It’s no wonder you lost some of your passion for horses while dealing with that.
But to see that spark ignite again is awesome and what a lucky horse to end up in your barn, whoever it is.

Thank you! Yeah! I really didn’t think I’d be so keen for another and of course nothing will ever be like riding Bog, or that partnership. I always said if I lost Bog I wouldn’t get another horse in Colorado as it’s such crazy money to keep them (well). Here I am with two of them and hoping to add a third in a private barn that’s more than boarding ever would have been

I do not think I’d have managed to keep everything together post shark (with work etc) without horses. Not just Bog, Beau too. When they aren’t causing breakdowns they are fixing them.

 

[nutjob]

Do you have any still pictures of the chestnut showing the LHS of the horse?

 

[Michen]

Probably not and I’m just going to let a vet do their job on him, in person.

 

[EventingMum]

I like the chestnut more with each picture you post. I liked the mare but think your decision re her is very sensible. Your attitude with the chestnut is very pragmatic and what will be will be but doesn't stop me crossing my fingers!

BTW guys if the chestnut passes the vet I'm going to call him Bagel. Or Barney after my cheeky godson (he'd love that). Either way he cannot be the Hawkeye he's currently called so he might as well be a B.

And I'm really loving Bagels at the moment. Hehe.

 

[Cloball]

No it has to be Benjamin or Franklin if his name is Hawkeye

Bagel! He has to be Bagel!

 

[Indy]

Clint if he's Hawkeye

 

[CanteringCarrot]

That's pretty much exactly what I said! Benny would've worked too.

I don't mind Bagel though. Not into Barney, personally, but it's not my horse.

 

[Michen]

It needs to be a B ideally.... keeping with the theme.

It can't be Benny because he will get shortened to Ben which I don't like. Bagel, Barney, Bilbo (I do love lord of the rings..)....

Always good to name a horse before it vets lol

 

[druid]

I endorse Bagel but would also approve Biscuit aka Ginger biscuit.

Biscuit was also in my head, or Brandy! Or Bali, one of my favourite countries.

It would be kinda funny to shorten Bagel to Bag tho and have a Bag and a Bog

Bilbo Baggins works in that case, you still get Bag

 

[Michen]

If he passes the vet I'll do a poll and you can all choose, haha.

 

[teapot]

Brian

 

[Equi]

I mean the moment you said bagel it was sealed

Bagel and Boggle. Perfect for their antics skit show!!

 

[DarcyPercy]

I love all these names! When’s the vetting again?

 

[Smitty]

I can't keep up with it all. Is the little chestnut TB type still around?

Dusty from the rescue? No he went back he wouldn’t stay sound in work.

 

[Smitty]

Bless, he did look a bit of a cutie

 

[2ndtimearound]

I like Bagel as a name, but if you want a Hawkeye-related name beginning with B, Barton would fit the bill (as in Clint Barton being Hawkeye in the Marvel films).

 

[BallyRoanBaubles]

Bagel or biscuit!

 

[Peglo]

I love Biscuit. As an avid LOTR fan I don’t think I could have a pony called Bilbo because I would just want to shout “BILBO BAGGINS! Do not take me for a conjuror of cheap tricks!” Every time I saw him (doing my best impression of Gandalf of course)
but then again who doesn’t love quoting LOTR on a daily basis

 

[Petalpoos]

Bagel!

 

[CanteringCarrot]

He's giving Bagel vibes.

 

[Michen]

He better pass now he's been named.

But Hawkeye is a fab name! If he ends up in your barn then you must call him what you will. But I love the name Hawkeye...

It’s such a mouthful though hahaa
