OK. I’ll put out some feelers. Everybody knows everybody in Ireland - especially in the west.

Not sure if OP will see this as she has me on UI as far as I am aware but if someone would like to pass this on perhaps? John has some lovely horses, he is honest and has a very good reputation, does livery and riding school too. Got a lovely OBOS mare for sale at the moment but a huge amount of interest so don't think she will be around for long, not many of his are.

I hope that helps.

My CI confirms your opinion. Awaiting response from further unimpeachable source who is on her weary way back from a qualifier at Ower in Galway.

Not far from me either, he has some lovely horses through. Is there something particular you are interested in? Happy to do an initial check for you if there is.

So I’m told John is a gentleman and always the first to offer advice or a helping hand. He sells quality horses which are carefully and sympathetically produced and proudly showcased. His horses all have soft mouths. Defo not one to avoid.

Try and find out why the mare didn’t compete July18 through all of 2019. She was out regular as clockwork until that point

Aaaaaand she's mine! Transport booked for Thursday on the overnight sailing. OMG I have a new horse. Who I have never met
I do have a plan B for her if we don't click but I don't tend to feel instant connections anyway. Horses grow on me. Or not. I didn't even like Amber much at first so what do I know!
Need a name now. She has a passport name - Shannonview Chicago - but was bought by John at Auction and her former stable name is unknown. I'd like an Irish name..... Shannon is the obvious choice but I am not massively keen on that.
Eeks very excited.

Yay! What about Saoirse? It means freedom.

I love the name but it would always be pronounced wrong I think as I live in England.

I could use a commonly anglicized name like Ava, Eve, Erin?

I personally would get in touch with the previous owners to ask what she is called- she seems to have SJed with the same guy for a couple of years so presumably had a name

What about Connla?
"Sionainn is one of seven rivers of knowledge said to flow from Connla's Well, the well of wisdom in the Celtic Otherworld (the realm of the dead). Legends vary about the creation of the river, but they all recount the drowning of the Sionna, granddaughter of the great sea god Lir, usually at an undersea well.#2

Congrats,
If you can’t find her stable name out I’d go for Roxie, one of the main characters in the musical Chicago
