Deposit paid and need a name!

[tinselbobs]

I’ve just paid the deposit on this beauty, but have to wait a few weeks to pick them up!

I’ve always wanted a rocking horse and now I’m pregnant I decided the baby obviously HAS to have a rocking horse ? I haven’t bought anything else baby related yet ?

I need some name inspiration please!

Tonto

We had a lovely lovely grey racehorse in the yard who was a very good horse. His racing name was Silver By Nature and his stable name was Tonto.

Wow, that is beautiful. Elf on a Shelf's post made me think how much I like Silver. Very traditional name, but rocking horses are so traditional.

At least you dont have the worry of getting your deposit back if it fails a vetting

Well done! I was going to post "buy it!" on the other thread.

Mine is called Rocky, how terribly predictable!

Ohh I do like something Silver themed or Tonto! I like the racing connection too as both of my previous horses have been ex-racers.

Haha I know! No stress for vetting, only the worry of if it will fit in my dad's car!

I couldn't resist it, it's just so beautiful! Have you got a picture of yours?

 

[Meowy Catkin]

Beautiful!

How about Robin... because Rockin' Robin.

I assumed this would be a horse so I was going to say why don’t you have a look at the parents/grandparents names for inspiration ??
It’s gorgeous!!
Hmmm. Misty, storm, dusty (but don’t let him get dusty ?), Smokey

Gosh, I hope it is good to load

 

[ownedbyaconnie]

My Mum's connie was called Silver so I say Silver!

 

[Bernster]

Did you get it vetted ? ?

 

[tinselbobs]

Did you get it vetted ? ?

I'm taking a risk and buying unseen and unvetted!

 

[ownedbyaconnie]

Goes without saying but hope you get vet, back, saddle and teeth checked ASAP and I'd also pop it on some turmeric just to be safe.

gorgeous rocking horse!!!

Maybe a gastric supplement too, just to be safe!

gorgeous rocking horse!!!

I know it's so beautiful! Totally not the practical purchases I should be making right now but I couldn't resist!

 

[GreyMane]

Shadow - or Shadowfax
Can rocking horses be mares? If so, maybe Claudia
("Cloudier")

I'd keep it on a track system. Looks a bit cresty...

 

[Dasher66]

Maybe something wood related - Oakley or Ashley?
Woody?

 

[MereChristmas]

Because HHO helped me name my grey Connemara pony last month he has to be
Finan

 

[PinkvSantaboots]

Targaryen as in the game of thrones they have silver hair

 

[Baywonder]

I think he looks like a Shadow or Silver.

Nice impulse purchase @timbobs

We have one very similar - I can never resist a go on it myself when the children aren't looking......

 

[Gloi]

Well with the baby coming you are going to be having to sterilise a lot of things so I think call him Milton.

Looks a bit unhappy in the mouth , you should get the dentist to look at him.

I always wanted one but never had one

 

[Cherryblossom]

Merrylegs from black beauty!

 

[HappyHollyDays]

Timbobs you have bought the most essential item a new baby could ever need, all the other stuff is just well stuff. It will get used but it won’t be loved. It won’t have its little rider make up adventures about their exploits together, winning Burleigh against all the odds, rounding up cattle on the prairie or practicing round the world and pretend gymkhana games but the rocking horse will and they will be memories made for life.

 

[blitznbobs]

Woody...

tbh id get it vetted if i was you it looks a bit stiff through the poll and im not sure it will have good lateral bend ... also a grey - nightmare to keep clean.

Dapple

I'm sooooo jealous! Always wanted one when I was a child, and some friends of ours had a beautiful and very big rocking horse which I rode at any opportunity. When I had my own children I wanted to get them one and we had the space for it, but we always seemed to have something more important to spend the money on......well done for prioritising it now!

 

[The Xmas Furry]

How bloody lovely!
Silver Dapple?
I'm v envious lol x

I can tell the pregnancy hormones are in full swing as your post made me a bit teary!
