I'm very much a lurker on this thread and wasn't going to respond, but... congrats on your new boy. He looks like lots of fun! My mum has a fox red labrador called Bracken, which could work. Although you could shortened it to Ken/Kenny

I think he looks like a Phoenix or Hawk in the last photo posted. Both nice names but I’d probably shorten Phoenix to Nix.

How about Bradley, shortened to Brad as in the Rocky Horror Show

Haha. I prefer complex names, though poor Fin ended up with a single syllable despite my best efforts.
Hermosa only ever gets called 'Hermosa.' It's easy to shout, though. Spanish rolls off the tongue. Gypsum was always 'Gypsum.'
I've always wanted to call a horse Desert Solitaire, aka, Solitaire, after the Ed Abbey book, but Caso wasn't right horse, not least because I wasn't keeping him and he wasn't female.
I'd still keep the name your little chestnut came with. I'm glad he passed the vet. Third time lucky.

Yep, he vetted perfectly and the vet thought he was great! So did the receptionist actually, she rang me to get the health certificate sorted for travel and said she’d been watching a very cute horse out of the window!

I hope Bog doesn’t hate this it’s different with Helo I don’t “do” anything with him. Now he’s going to watch me doing this with this new young thing, as if he’s not the main man anymore. Even though he is and will always be!
When I got bear bog was on box rest and he’d bang his door and flatten his ears whenever he saw me doing stuff with him.
He was ok with dusty ish, mainly because at barn one he couldn’t actually see much of it. Second barn he was more concerned/wound up because I was taking his singular companion away.
At least his stable is now first so his nose will always be first kissed! Although it would have anyway.

We had an orange pony once who came with the name Funny Bunny so was always known as Bunny. Lovely pony who was fun but opinionated at times but willing. Congratulations you found a pretty orange pony. Have fun.

This won't help you, but mine definitely give jealous stares when I do things with their brother/sister. Fin was pure raging when Hermosa came to his yard. I owned her before him, but because she was at a different yard, he believed he was an only-horse.
Hermosa isn't as bothered, but she's a laidback girl anyway.
They have to man up and deal, though. Most of them do.

Oh excellent!!
Bog will have a friend!! Although what he’ll make of it will be
Glad you’ve got something to work on. He looks like a lovely chap.

He’s on his way! In his lovely box stall ride. Worth the extra for him to have a more comfortable 14 hours where they travel loose.
He’s described as “cherry chestnut” color. I think he may be Phoenix. Hauler said he loaded perfectly.

He’s beautiful and I’m sure he look even more so once he’s been under your care for a while so definite Phoenix from the ashes vibes

Yep, when they are in box stalls like that they just keep going. They can move/eat/drink/lie down. The roads here are very straight so I don’t worry about it really.
I did make Boggles LAX-CO hauler stop over but honestly not sure what even happened, other than he stopped in Vegas, and Bog probably saw some “things”.

We had a Buzz who was renamed to suit his character! A tall elegant Zangersheide dark bay purchased as Guardsman which seemed to suit.... until he was actually fit and then turned into a live wire, plugged into high voltage. I just about stayed on until we sold him....
