No proper name yet (he does have a registered one but it’s not very imaginative). I can’t think of anything I like so far.He's a very pretty boy isn't he. Has he got a name or did I miss that?
If someone had predicted online horse shopping 30 years ago we'd never have believed them.
That’s what I figured. And it’s finding one that fits with the others so it’s not too similar when you call them or speak about them. My dogs name is quite soft and one syllable and it turns out it’s not the best for calling, just doesn’t have a satisfying ring to it.
Yes I found that when I called one dog Jesse. That morphed into Diss which can be much sharper. Sister's dog is Birch, I usually call her Birk, much sharper (and appropriate at times)
He’s from lovely folks on the west coast, they breed a couple of their own but also buy in a couple of weanlings each spring with the intention of selling them as yearlings which is what this guy is. I’m so excited to meet him. Just hope BBP behaves himself! He can be a bit exuberant at the best of times. Camera at the ready I think!
xI can just see myself standing out in the field shouting ‘NUTBUSHHHHH!!!’ at the top of my voice calling them in!?Sounds like a good enough inspiration for a stable name? (Private) Dancer? Thunder(dome)? Nutbush?
Thank you! And to everyone else who has commented. It feels an eternity waiting for him to be delivered.
Me too, saw the thread and revisited for the great unloading!waiting impatiently for homecoming photos
i love the name fergus for dark coloured horses....do you know his breeding so you can make up a name for him

?I'm made up for you BBP !!
Ah thank you! I’m in a bit of a flap as they said he will be delivered in a 12 horse lorry, and I’m not sure if it will fit! I’m hoping they know what they are doing as they didn’t give me any opportunity to talk about site access etc.
. He's got local rellies (Caherlistrane is about 5 miles from me).
Unfortunately we are in the middle of two awkward bends, it would be a long way to lead a learner pony.
I’ve been trying to find pictures but can’t find anything except Caherlistrane Bay.
That’s very true! I was also contemplating Feargal/Fergal, as it apparently means Brave, thought maybe it would give him good mojo from the start?! But then my brain has already morphed that into Fraggle accidentally.
