So, I'm writing a book which i'm going to get published.
It's about an accidental cob who gets passed from pillar to post because nobody wants her. In the end she's shipped of the slaughter but gets rescused and then many bad things happen.
I won't tell you anymore.
But, who wants to name my book? :-)

I have no idea's what to call it and well you'll feel special if I pick your book title.
So Competition I guess..
GO!
 
I was thinking something more.. dramatic.
I want to get the reader interested. It's quite sad and it's a 'hopefully make people cry' book. haahaha!

Nice idea. Have you thought about how you are going to get it published, or do you plan to self publish?

What is the cob's name? Could it be something to do with that perhaps?

Well, as the books not finished yet! I was thinking Destiny or something like that. I did have another one which I was going to use but I forgot it.
Haha! :)

Other names: Puzzle, Jigsaw, Patch, Two-Tone, Messy, Sploge. Add your own names, i'm terrible with names!
 
I would not use cob in the title as non horse people will have no idea what a cob is, they could learn if they read it maybe;)
If the cob has a name that would be what I would use in the title ?????s Journey.
 
I'll add to my explanation for you guys! :-)

Its about a filly cob who was born out of a Prize Showjumper who accidentaly got pregnant by a cob that got loose out of a traveller site. The owner ends up not wanting the cob as it's 'just a cob' and sells her to another home. Basically this cob (doesn't have a name yet) has a really sad, depressing life and get's 'ruined'.
In the end, she's sent off to slaughter but by some miracle she's rescused although to another bad home.

I won't tell you much more apart from, you may cry when you read it! :-)
 
If she is never wanted she would have a plain, unimaginitive name as no one would have cared enough to give her anything nice.

The Decline of ???
Not a Second Chance
A Living Nightmare
 
If you decide on a name for the horse, you could call the book just that. I always think simple is best. Other that that:

'From pillar to post'
'Spiral'
'Worse than a bullet'
'Damaged'
'Sold as seen'
'Horse meat'
'Burden'
'Cruel'
 
Good idea's everyone!
I was thinking of names, I liked Bracken or Biscuit.
But it's name gets changed throughout the book due to new owners.
 
What's the colour of the mare?

I was thinking (as a name) maybe 'Four Leaf Clover/Four Leaved Clover' and then as a title something to do with luck or something like that :P Or maybe Marbles, Nessie, Ebony, Ivory, Harmony, Magpie, Fern, Magnolia (Maggie for short), Gypsy (a bit unoriginal but as in 'Gypsy Vanner'), Feathered 'something' (Lady, Dame, Girl... something like that), Annie Lou

And then for the title...hmmm...what about:
A Patchwork of Journeys (if she is piebald/skewbald)
The Gypsy (or/and Vanner) Queen
The Adventures of a Gypsy Mare
An Unwanted Mare
From Pillar to Post

Just a few suggestions- sorry they're not great! :o
 
Personally if there is something in a title I don't know the meaning of it makes it more intriguing, perhapsthe cover will have a horse on it?
