Hi

thought i'd introduce my new boy :) hes a 16.1 wb x ish 5yro gelding called nerd. absolutely green as the grass, so will be a really good project to get my teeth into :) hes such a sweetheart, settled in straight away and is taking everything in stride!

he is called nerd, i'm unsure whether to keep this or just roll with it. he also doesn't have a registered name yet so i'm open to ideas. he is by jacomar and his dam is called lis beauty, his his grand sire is ramiro z and his dam sire is diamond lad, any ideas for a registered name :)

thanks :D
 
ooh exciting! But sadly cant see your picture :(

Hm nerd doesnt sound a brilliant name to me... bit disrespectful! a nerd is a computer wizard isnt it... perhaps you could call him Bill after Bill Gates!
 
Handsome lad and certainly doesn't look like a nerd. I hope you do change his name. Good look with him, I'm sure you'll have fun with him. Look forward to your updates.
 
Ooo I saw him for sale with lucor sport horses ... I like him a lot !! Really nice type !

What are your plans with him?

thanks :) they were an absolute pleasure to deal with, would gladly buy from them again :) hopefully i'd like to bring his schooling on and eventually aim him at some dressage, hes very very green but hes so eager to please!
 
Didn't see the willy till it was pointed out..! He looks a really nice eventing type too..What are his front feet like? Is he due for shoeing or is it the angle as his toes look long. Forgive the paranoia but have been around a lot of young horses and it seems to be an ongoing task to keep checking foot balance etc.

As for his a stable name.. I would change that in a hurry. I bought, ages ago, a stunning Primitive Rising gelding who had shown at county level. His name was ..Wally. It was changed to Wolsey on the way home as he was so regal. Ditto my oldest Stafford bitch came to me called Tyson..changed to Tara before she got home.

So if someone lands your boy with a horrible name.. I would change it in a heartbeat. Word of warning if you are going to register his new show name with the ISH board, when they ask for alternatives, there is an excellent chance they won't use your first choice, even if you have checked as best you can to ensure your name is unique. Therefore when I registered my ISH his show name was xxxx l, xxxx ll and of course xxxx lll. Got the name I wanted.

Hi, thanks :) yeh hes due to have new shoes this week :) my boyfriend came up with rambo which I actually quite like, I'm so indecisive though so it could take a while to settle on a name :)

As for his show name I really can't think of one that does him justice. Oh I was wondering about what order they picked the name in, thats really helpful I'd be gutted if he got one I wasn't as keen on :)
