Expecting an exciting delivery...

[FourWhiteSocks]

Lovely mare, sending best of luck

'River', for the river Shannon
'Bridie' a lovely Irish name, and suits such a pretty bay mare.

 

[Quigleyandme]

Shazza ?

 

[little_critter]

Margarita (Chicago pizza ?)

 

[Bluewaves]

I quite like old fashioned Irish names so Bridget, Mary Kate, Eileen, Annie or just Mary on its own.

 

[PapaverFollis]

Aaawww, Bridget is a nice name for a big honest bay mare.

 

[Smiffypig]

Stella - having stalked her breeding from the other thread.

she’s a lovely mare, I hope you have many happy years with her!

 

[palo1]

Exciting stuff!! Hope she is wonderful fun for you AE. I love the names Bridget, Erin and Clodagh for a good Irish mare but you will know what suits her when you meet her. Eachann means brown horse if that helps!!

 

[wispagold]

She looks lovely! I can't think of any Irish names that haven't already been mentioned so I would have to go with the Chicago musical theme and go for Jazz or Zeta.

 

[PSD]

She’s a wonderful looking horse. How exciting!

 

[scats]

She looks lovely! I like the names Caoimhe and Aoife.

 

[MidChristmasCrisis]

Well she looks lovely..as for a name I’m stumped….

 

[Bernster]

Super duper exciting ! You really went n did it ?. I’d go for Shannon but wait and see whether it suits when you meet her in person. Really looking forward to reading how you get on with new ponio!

 

[SatansLittleHelper]

Ooooh she's rather nice, congratulations ❤

 

[iknowmyvalue]

So exciting! She looks lovely!

I like Aoife and River as names.

How about Chita? Name of the actress who played Velma in the original Chicago musical on Broadway. (Funnily enough Chita Rivera is her full name, so River would nod to that too!)

 

[Caol Ila]

The pic didn't show up on my laptop. Ruadh. Means red. Aoife. Niamh. Ghaoith means wind, which is pronounced Ghee, so not a great name (in my view). Nebheis (Ne-vis) means cloud. Uaine means angel.

There are good place names to be had in Ireland. Kinvarra. Tralee. Ardara. Nenagh. Ennis. Maghera. Drogheda. Adare. Cashel. Innisfree.

I restrained the worst of my urge for challenging Gaelic words for my Highland. I really wanted to, but there's only so much of your life you want to devote to spelling it out for people, even here.

 

[Chippers1]

My mum's cat is called Liffey (after the river Liffey in Ireland) and I quite like that name!

 

[pistolpete]

Gertie. Or big bay Bertha. She needs a solid dependable name. Looks a solid dependable girl. Failing that the opposite. Kiki or Baby!

 

[Meowy Catkin]

Now you've got me singing 'Bertha, lovely Bertha, sometimes I think you're a dream...'

 

[Millie-Rose]

Our Irish mare is Mary, really suits her.

 

[Sealine]

Ooh she looks lovely. Really reminds me of a super mare that belongs to an old friend of my mine. I hope you have lots of fun with her.

 

[FireCracker238]

You could make Bridget more Irish looking by altering the spelling

There's also Reva, which has some connection to water. Taken from Wikipedia so not reliable but it states "Reva (Reua) - personification of water flows". I'm assuming pronunciation would be Reeva

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Ooh I like Reva. Also like Darcy and Maisie.

 

[MissTyc]

She looks like a really nice horse! Best delivery ever!

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Argghh not enough horses coming to England for them to set off tonight. So now booked on next Tuesday's sailing. Sooooooo impatient to meet her. I am leaning towards Lottie. From Lot 53!
She is half German so that's the German side being expressed.

 

[FireCracker238]

Lottie is a pretty name, my sister has a cat with the same name. I also liked your first suggestion of Ava from the other thread


Sorry to hear the sailing has been delayed, I think we were all looking forward to the pictures ?

disgusted of the Highlands complaining re the resultant delay to "Pony has landed" and "AE onboard" posts.. most inconsiderate of the transporters..

and Lottie is an ace name .. love Lottie Lenya

 

[CanteringCarrot]

Also a big brown German Lottie on our yard. A successful jumping horse. It's a nice name.

 

[palo1]

Lottie or Lotte is a great name for a good bay mare Gutted for you for the delay though!

 

[splashgirl45]

oh no, dont they realise we are all waiting for pics and updates

 

[eahotson]

She is lovely.
