do you ever think up names for horses you havent bought or bred yet?

...do you ever sit and think up good names for horses you havent bought or bred yet?

...just for your own amusement, when youve nothing to do? (like, its not a hobby or anything

)

 

[ldlp111]

yeah all the time

 

[Puppy]

Yup!

I have a few ideas for names for the foals I hope to breed from Be!

 

[zoeshiloh]

Yes. I have a whole load of names for horses, but when my foals arrive, I normally decide my planned name doesn't suit them, and end up racking my brains (and those of HHO) for other ideas!

 

[abracadabra]

phew! lol

am planning to send 2 mares to stud next year, circumstances meant ive left it too late for this year, and im thinking of baby names before the girls are even on the wagon, never mind in foal haha

 

[Enfys]

Oh yes, all the time, and they NEVER suit the horse/dog etc.

Hence the "what to call him?" thread for the new boy.

 

[kerilli]

yes, i've got a whole notebook full, that i've been filling in since I was a kid... that's why i can come up with good ones for people on here sometimes!
i'm not giving away my best ones though...

 

[abracadabra]

enfys - jackson pollock, because of his sploggyness

 

[Tinkerbee]

Ooh yes

I went through a phase of wanting a whole yard of horses with names from shakespearean plays.

[chickeninabun]

Since a child I've always wanted a horse called Saracen! One day maybe...

 

[Pearlsacarolsinger]

Oh yes!
We go to our local (very low end) sales occasionally *just for a look*

and have seen more than one that we would have liked if 'it wasn't in foal/ went for a bit less/ was a bit bigger' etc and we've named them and what's more we still talk about 'Ruby' who wanted to eat the beef sandwich which we thought was AWFUL. and several others. Have always managed to be strong-minded enough not to succumb and bring something totally unsuitable away with us.

I used to all the time, but now i am actually dabbling in a bit of breeding i try not too incase it jinx' anything!
Having said that Rusty was named about 3/4 days before he appeared into the world!!

 

[LeneHorse]

Yes - I have a vision of a small bay Irish sports horse mare and her name would be Roisin!

 

[Lippyx]

When ever I see horses I would buy, I always think of what Show names I would have.... If I got a coloured I would definitely have to give it the show name that has Harliquin in it!!
