What are her dam and sires names?

Is it a show name or stable name your looking for?

 

[RockyDiamond]

I'm looking for a stable name. I'm thinking of perfectly flawless or something to that context for her show name, but i'm not sure yet.
Her dam isn't registered yet and her sire is a wild horse that broke into her field.. She was a surprise foal

Here you are, names for 'red' horses, also black, palomino etc, etc.

Copper used to be a very popular name for chestnuts, I don't hear of it so often now. Go on, there will be a dozen on HHO now

Copper Coin
Red Socks
Tanner
Solaire

You would be surprised at how many fully grown horses there are called Foalie, Baby or Little because owners never got around to finding a name that seemed to suit. What do you call her now? Foalie? Baby? Maybe something that sounds similar to what she is used to?.

My GSD bitch is called only called Poppy because for 6 months we were calling her Puppy and it didn't seem fair to change her name totally.

Clementine?

Shan - all orange fillies should be called shan

 

[Enfys]

Shan - all orange fillies should be called shan

Why? Is that a famous red horse? Will my life be blighted because I have never heard of that name before ?

 

[Enfys]

Clementine?

Raise you on that one ......... Satsuma

Floss? Flossie?

 

[Meowy Catkin]

Mandy (Mandarin orange )

Marmalade

No haha would be cool if it was something like that. I know alot of chestnut fillies that were called Shan, each one named after the first. Including mine!

"Fire-Fly By Night" -as a tribute to her naughty father
"Firefly"
"Sunrise" - sounds like surprise - again I am attributing to her father.
"Sunbeam" - wasn't there a Greek legend where a baby was conceived by a god turning themselves into a sunbeam?
"Fair Cop" - Cop short for Copper and fair cop as her mum was "caught"
"Copper Surprise"
"Copper Sunrise"

Just some word association suggestions

We call her Foalie but we don't want to call her that forever and we want to find a name that suits her before she gets to used Foalie and incase we get too used to calling her that too.

 

[Meowy Catkin]

We call her Foalie but we don't want to call her that forever

How about Farley, after the author of the Black Stallion?

Ok, she's not a black stallion, but it sounds similar to Foalie.

 

[muddygreymare]

What about:
Megan
Autumn
Belle
Sunny
Lottie
