Arrghn sorry. Lovely name just not for a horse! And also I have too many friends with that name!

Yes. Obos Quality is Amber's Grandad. She is by Beach Ball (Obos Quality X Echo Beach). I didn't know that when the horse first caught my eye but I'm happy now. I am in no way expecting another Amber - this is not a would-be replacement. But liking a horse's breeding is a good starting point.

Is Beach Ball a show jumping grey? I think I knew a Beach Ball when he was owned by a rich person who bought and set up a SJ yard. If it's the same stallion he was a lovely person

No he is a chestnut show jumper, apparently also a lovely person. x

Now I'm wondering if "Lionel" was Beach Boy II ?

Well in some ways it is quick but in other ways, Amber retired over a year ago! So it feels like I have waited a long time to feel ready to buy another long term horse. Toby was only ever meant to be a 'while Amber is recovering' project. If this one (who really needs a name!) isnt right, I'' move her on but at the moment I have high hopes that she is my next eventing partner and long term pony pal.

She is lot no 53 from DMF Sporthorses in the June sales at Cavan, I am guessing probably where John bought her from. Nice to see her jumping and not just the stills. Sorry edited to add at around 4.23 on the vid.

Epona maybe? She was the patron goddess of mares and foals. However, she was a Celtic goddess rather than specifically Irish.

Not sure why the link above didn't work, Lot 53 about 4.23 into the video - but it is a nice bit of footage of her showing her style at the sales, I thought it might be nice to see as well as the advert stills.

New horse is half German after all. Lotte or Lottie is a Germanic name.
