After looking for ages, and having some interesting experiences and meeting some lovely people along the way, I have finally found a new horse, only 5 miles away.
I have spend hours in the car, and I dread to think how much in diesel, and have been disappointed, frustrated and even frightened. Made it more difficult for myself by not having a fixed idea of what I wanted, and in the position of having to 'replace' a much loved horse, retiring early, who I have had since a yearling.
Found out that I am not a confident rider, and realised quite how unfit I am for riding!!
So today the mare I have found passed the vetting, and will be arriving next week. She's chestnut, 15hh and rising 5, with a very laid back, calm temperement. Needs fittening and schooling, but I'm looking forward to that.
Her sire is a Connemara, dam is a TBX, but unknown what the 'X' is!!

Registered name Whitley Village Mirage, current stable name 'Maggie'. So any ideas what I can call her as I'm not overly keen on that! :confused:
 
I always think it's nice to get the horse home and see what sort of a character it has before trying to think up names. So sorry not much help !
 
"Fata Morgana", one kind of superior mirage consisting of a series of unusually elaborate, vertically-stacked images, which form one rapidly-changing mirage

so why not call her morgan , at least it ties in with her registered name
 
I like to choose a stable name which starts with a letter to do with the registered name. For example my current lad was called Bertie, his passport name is Comer Coal so I called him Cooper because I hated the name Bertie.

How about Whitney? Milly, Minnie, Missy, Whisper, Willow?
 
Thanks guys, Miry or Morgan sound good and fit in with JoJo's idea of using an initial from her registered name, will have a try of those and see which 'fits' her!
