Have two new project ponies :)

[Sparkles]

We got them last week at the same time as little Hughie, as two extra suprises to take to back with us. I don't think I introduced them at the time.
As from tomorrow they'll be back in [as been out in isolation for a week, yard rules ] and shall start the big world of being riding ponies!

They're both New Forests, the dark bay is very nice indeed and has quite good bloodlines I think from the brief research I did on them. The chestnut has nice lines too and should be a nice little allrounder pony. Dark bay's 4 and the chestnut's 3 I think. They're both about 14.2 I'd guess.

I'll get some good pics once we've got them in, spruced up and washed out...for the minute only got the ones of them out in the field

Anyway. Here are the little monkeys :

The bay's called Clover which I can live with...but the chestnut's called Noreen. Noreen. I don't think I can actually say that out loud calling a horse lol. Alternative name ideas? Ha. Bless her.

they're soo sweet. lovely faces.

 

[BSJAlove]

oooo lovely what are their lines? i have a 4year old by Matley Crusaider. fantastic allrounder and a fab buy.

 

[Sparkles]

Thanks Don't really know them well enough yet but they seem very sweet and lovely!

I'll dig their passports out and write it down...one sec

 

[measles]

Very nice little project people. The chestnut is the spitting image of our rising 4yo who is by Tiny Tim out of our 13.2hh JA New Forest pony mare

 

[ChesnutsRoasting]

Lovely - still like the colt with the droopy lip though.

Noreen is a poor, poor name. No living creature deserves that. Norry could be a suitable replacement though!

 

[welshponylover]

or for the noreen one you could change it completely to Copper or something to do with orange...cheese puff?

 

[Sparkles]

Lol. Droopy lip's still up advertised B.Saddles Haha.

Haha. Cheese Puff. I can't see her advert eventually reading 'Cheese Puff for sale' though!!!

Someone came up with a good name the other day, but I've completely forgotten what it was! So back to the drawing board again lol.

 

[Sparkles]

Ok pedigrees...

Clover's:
S -Buckland Cruiser (Buckland Rave-on x Limekiln Billie)
D - Oakwood Tantany (Oakwood Poppy x Sea End Breezer)

Noreen:
S - Royal Oak Ron (Royal Oak Fluffy x Burley Branston]
D -Mockbeggar Nancy (Mockbeggar Nadine x Millersford Acorn)

 

[welshponylover]

[Sparkles]

[stroppy]

Noreen strikes me as a Tuppence

 

[Moggy in Manolos]

They both look very sweet, have fun with them

 

[ChesnutsRoasting]

Lol. Droopy lip's still up advertised B.Saddles Haha.


Please don't tell me he's on course to make 14.2. I really couldn't deal with that.!

 

[Saucisson]

Lovely ponies!

It's funny though coz over here (Belgium) we've just recently been involved in two horse transactions where one of the parents is a New Forest pony?!?!?!

I did have to explain to OH that they are English and not Irish. But, they seem to be getting the respect they deserve over here - particularly as jumping ponies/horses?

 

[welshponylover]

oooh pringles cool how about 'fake tan gone wrong'?

 

[Sparkles]

Droppy lip's to make about 15hh/15.1hh I'm afraid lol.

Thanks all!! They should be a bit of fun to do. I reckon the chestnut will have a nice pop on her jumping

Fake bake? lol.

 

[sazzle44]

They are very very cute! Hoping to get one this summer myself How about Nora? Keep along the Noreen lines....lol Good luck with them xx

 

[welshponylover]

Ha lol fake bake is guuud hehe

[Girlracer]

Hahaha, cheese puff??! I need a horse named cheese puff i think!

Anyway they both look like really sweet little ponies, be lovely to see their progress

 

[Sparkles]

Thankyou! Nora is ok....Though should have been Flaming Nora for her name haha

They'll start as from tomorrow! I'll keep pictures for HHO

 

[welshponylover]

[naza]

[Lollii]

You could call her 'Katy' she is the same colour as Katy P

 

[Sparkles]

Lol. She looks not to disimilar to when my hair went wrong last year tbf...Little gingernut lol.

Yep both of them, get them going and a bit of experience under their belt, then sell them on

 

[3Beasties]

Awww lovely ponies

I think you should call Naureen Oaky (or should that be Oakie? )

Or Penny, Jaffa or Tango!

 

[Sparkles]

Hmmm. Tango is the winner I think!!!!

Thanks They are very sweet. NoreensoontobeTango has one random blue eye too lol.

 

[Sugarplum Furry]

I just looked up the name Noreen and found this...


A classic Irish name, it could be a shortened form of Eleanor meaning "torch" or could be from the Latin Honora meaning "honor, reputation" and became so popular in Ireland in the Middle Ages that many people assumed it was Irish. Noreen is the diminutive of Nora and means "little honourable one

Awww, little honourable one!! You could call her Honour.

 

[muddygreymare]

Aww they're really sweet! We need more photos.
But who in their right mind calls a horse Noreen?! Honestly?!

 

[Sparkles]

Haha, it is sort of funny though.

We'll see if she's still the little honourable one when we're backing her haha!!!
