Boggle- USA bound!

Having been to see Happy Mondays recently...how about Bez??

Absolutely delighted for you M, hope you have a lot of fun together.

And it’s definitely a happy Monday today.

I'm going to go against the grain here and wonder if you could consider a different naming idea. This is (I think) a new type of horse for you and maybe should start a new trend all of his own. I'm delighted for you that he passed the vet and hope that he is all you wish for and that you have many years of joy together

 

[little_critter]

I’ll figure it out when I meet him and decide if he’s going to be a B or not

If he doesn’t get to be a B, I really like Lotus! Mainly the eating of the biscuits lol.

I’m working my way through biscuits as names now….
Hobnob
Jammy Dodger
Custard (cream)
Bourbon
Garibaldi
Cookie
Tunnock
Twix
Rocky

 

[Lauraback]

Fab news Michen am very excited for you

 

[Lurfy]

I love Garibaldi, Gari for short

 

[YourValentine]

Exciting!! I hope you beat him home

 

[druid]

The issue here is these are all uk biscuit names. He's american. So confuse people and call him Oreo.

 

[Michen]

I liked Twix!!! That’s cute.

 

[airliner]

Sorry I’m a bit late to the naming trend so maybe it’s past the point maybe something along the board games theme? Scrabble, Bananagrams, Dabble, Ruzzle, Quidler, etc…?

I am prepping! Going to move bog to the end two stalls and have removed the divider so he has a double run. Then re divide this one, and have pony at end. I will rig up some fencing so that bog/helo can continue to have free access to theirs and a sort of track system around the perimeter and pony can have the middle bit and I’ll tape it around his gate so that can stay open too.

My plumber has been for the third time and I now have all working heated auto waterers! Prefer buckets for knowing what they’ve drunk but needs must.

Helps to avoid in winter any “I want to come in your late” type behavior that is typical of bog. I don’t wanna be stressing to get there before it’s dark.

 

[EventingMum]

This is fab news! Whatever he is to be named I wish you lots of fun and happiness with him.

Well tomorrow pony and I will be playing a fun game. It’s who can get to Colorado first.

He gets picked up from Minnesota in the morning around the same time as I get on a flight to Arizona. As he makes his way across three states I will be racing to get back to Colorado from a meeting that finishes 1 hr 30 before my flight to Denver leaves, and is 30 mins from the airport, so I can get back before him.

We shall see who gets there first, hopefully I won’t miss my flight as the next one is super late! Of course have a friend on hand incase she needs to receive him.

The vet said he was incredibly cute. Very curious and nosey but she couldn’t believe how well behaved he was for a 3 year old, perfect, apparently!

Not a thing flagged on the vetting other than a scar that I knew about.

Here we go again folks, hopefully some photos tomorrow evening

That is bloody brilliant news!! I am so pleased he is heading your way. Lucky pony! Wishing you both all the luck and fun getting to know each other. xx

The finest biscuits are Lidl's Dark Chocolate Gingers but that is of no use in this instance

 

[teapot]

Biscoff and shorten to Off, so you've got Bog Off

I think you meant to say M&S dark chocolate lime jaffa cakes ...
(Equally no help!).

 

[YourValentine]

No no no! I think you mean M&S choc orange rounds (I think that's what they are called)

(Equally no help)

 

[CanteringCarrot]

Just call him Jaffa. He's basically orange...sort of...

You're both wrong. It's M&S cranberry and clementine jaffa cakes.

What is he called at the moment I do not like to change a name they know unless I really hate it as I think it brings bad luck. If I change I try and go back to part of the registered name.

 

[zoon]

Since he is American I think he needs an American name

I like Ike (from Mike and Ikes)

 

[Michen]

Omg Jaffa might actually work. I like Jaffa a lot.

But I feel bad by not naming him a B it’s like telling him he’s definitely temporary

Hawkeye. I’ve changed them. Boggle was Jack and whilst our recent luck is terrible, I’ve had wonderful, wonderful years of in and out eventing with him. Bear was Teddy. He was pretty awesome! Others I’ve kept the name but I can’t do Hawkeye lol.

His registered name is Singheart flying hawk and I don’t think I can really do Fly!

Don't worry, it will soon be blxxdy Jaffa, that begins with a B..

He’s meant to be a project not a forever horse cos he’s a little small really and I don’t think will ride how I like them- too pony!

But, ya never know. I’ve been known to have more than one horse at any given time

 

[Michen]

Excellent point! Jaffa and Twix are firm favorites at the moments if veering away from the b’s.

This is a wild one but what about “Ferox”. It means spirited. ETA actually maybe not, it also means cruel. lol.

Clearly I can’t be trusted to name a horse when I named beautiful Boggle, Boggle/Bog. Like a toilet. Poor pony.

It was Palo who named Bear, Bear on HHO!

 

[nagblagger]

Bournville? I like Twix as I had a multi coloured rabbit called Jaffa.

Too much of a mouthful. I need to be able to yell it across a field. And in general.

 

[Dam1]

Or Tango ( as in you've been Tango 'd) - think you may be a bit young to remember the tv ad though x

 

[nagblagger]

Realistically it's going to be called the ginger one in your reports..

 

[Jojo2go]

Don't mistake a Morgan for a pony. I haven't been around too many, but that's not something I'd ever do. They think they are 10 foot tall and bulletproof!

I can't wait to read about his arrival!
