Meet my new Horse! - Name needed

[Shantara]

I'd like to formally introduce my new mare!

I picked her up this morning, having tried her last week
She was SUCH a star to load onto the trailer, travelled amazingly and simply hopped off! I tied her on the yard and she looked like she'd been there for years She's now standing munching a net in a stable.

She's an ex P2P horse and she is very forward to ride, but nothing scary. She's got such a nice personality

So now, I need a name!! Her current name is Mary, but I don't like "normal" human names on horses. Her passport name is Shantara, but I'm not fond of that either! I'm thinking perhaps Merida or Meriadock, (Merry for short) but I'm not sure!

 

[Goldenstar]

I don't like changing horses names but I think if I was going to change yours I would call her Tara .
Good luck with her .

 

[Zero00000]

I like Tara or Shanti

 

[Moobli]

She is beautiful! Merry is not too different from Mary, so would be a great choice (nicer too).

 

[BuzzyBea]

She's lovely Have lots of fun with her.

I like Shanti too!!

 

[numptynoelle]

I would have suggested Shantaram, as the book is amazing :wink3: but if you don't like it...

An anagram of Mary Shantara is Amaranth Rays, so I'd go with Amaranth - it's a very pretty purple flower :smile3:

 

[splashgirl45]

i quite like shantara, you could call her shanti....
or

dream
shadow
toffee
brandy

its really hard to think of a stable name which isnt a person....she looks very classy, any full body pics?what are you going to do with her?

 

[LHIS]

She looks a lot like a mare I know, so the only name that's springing to mind is hers - Echo. I don't think Merry suits her (judging purely on the photo!). She has a foxy look about her, like she might be a little sassy. Maybe Vixen/Vix, Pix/Pixie.
Hope you have lots of fun together.

 

[Dave's Mam]

I like Mary, but then, mine is called Dave,

Ants?

Can't do Meriadoc, it's a) a boys name and b) a hobbit name and she looks nowt like a hobbit

 

[LHIS]

Ants?

Can't do Meriadoc, it's a) a boys name and b) a hobbit name and she looks nowt like a hobbit

That's made me think - in the theme of Lord of the rings - Arwen would suit her.

 

[Mongoose11]

She looks very sweet. Did I miss a thread? What happened to the boy or have you got two now? Shanty is a nice name!

 

[wren123]

She looks lovely, I'd go with Merry, pretty and very near her old name.

 

[Regandal]

Mhairi.

 

[scats]

Merrily

 

[bonny]

are you hoping to breed with her ?

 

[Leo Walker]

You kept that quiet! I quite like Tara, dont like Merry though, thats a little chubby pony name and shes much more elegant than that!

 

[numptynoelle]

Mhairi.

God no, not for down there! :tongue3: It's bad enough when you have the "Vari or Mari" conversation (Vari is the only right one, I don't care what anyone says!), but I have a friend who moved south and got called "M'hairy" more regularly than you'd think :tongue3:

[Cowpony]

I like Merry. A nice happy name for a lovely horse, and not too far from Mary

 

[Siennasong]

I love the name Shanti also and it has a beautiful meaning (peace in Sanskrit)

 

[landyandy]

she looks like a Tara

 

[Shantara]

I don't know how to quote multiple people soo -

I've still got Neddy, he's not going any where I'm actually doing a mini ODE on him tomorrow! Very very nervous haha

I'm not planning on breeding from her, although she is stunning! I don't think I could deal with breeding a horse!

I think that's what's putting me off Merry, as much as I love the name, she's far too elegant. Unfortunately I know an Arwen, so that puts me off that name. I might find another LotR based name though! I need something that can be shortened. The dog is Tamriel and that became Tam...although, I have been calling her Tambolin for some reason!

 

[Sugarplum Furry]

Pia....elvish name for 'little one'.

Ariel

Meren

Miriel

Elen.

 

[Meredith]

Leesha.....read The Painted Man and the following 3 books.

 

[Shantara]

Some really good names! Ooh, I can't choose! I also like Anime, so perhaps an Anime character...hmmm...to google! ...again!

 

[Bessi]

The stud my lad is from had LOTR theme the year he was born and there was a lovely little mare named Bellefire, shortened to Belle..

 

[Mike007]

Dont care what you name her,she is beautiful.

 

[JJS]

I have a Mary, but mine looks much more like a Mary than yours does!
Whatever you decide to call her, she's very beautiful

 

[Bare hoof]

Look up Arabic names there is some beauty's
