starzaan- while you are in the mood for naming neddies- a very noble equine cause!
may i request ideas for a grey filly connamara that may be landing on my doorstep this weekend?? many thanks in advance

My friend has a lovely ISH that she's called Niamh, which I think is nice.

Its a lovely name- however I do know oooh.....6 Niamhs? and two in England that spell it Neave?

Might just give her a boys name and confuse people?

 

[dibbin]

Hmmm ... Connie's a bit obvious (although I know 2 Connemaras, a mare and a gelding, called Connie and Connor lol).

I'll have a think. But, be warned, it may be along the lines of Moragulous Ganglebag.

 

[Groom42]

Thank you for the exciting news about your NEW HORSE - can you pleeeese tell us about all the others, particularly the ones called Whelks, Morag, and Fit Farrier. Shame the Irish coloured cob called Mechanic has been rehomed, at least you didn't put him in a sale!

 

[MrsMozart]

Oooh, has The Mechanic been re-homed? Sold or loaned? Or just given away due to tendancy to nap and refusal to move off the leg?

The Mechanic has been rehomed on the orders of my new hero, Dr Spag.

i think she got fed up of tapping him with banana sticks to get him out of her personal space

Quite frankly I expect that sort of standard from you? what is the point of promoting you to chief horse namer otherwise!

 

[Starzaan]

Right... you really are nosey aren't you?! Cor blimes... ok...

Roy - Somewhere Somehow
17.2hh
24yrs
Fleabitten grey (VERY fleabitten!)
Dutch Warmblood x Hanoverian
My horse of a lifetime - was a successful Grade A showjumper in Holland in his youth, specialising in puissance and speed classes. Then went on to have a dressage career at Grand Prix level, and is now my squishy little angel. Has a serious phobia of being tied up standing on concrete, and WILL throw himself on the floor to prove his point. The sweetest and most genuine horse in the world - I trust him with my life even though he's a complete knob with me! He's a dream to hunt, and gets me out of trouble all the time. Nothing phases him - I could ask him to walk over hot coals and he'd try his heart out for me. Box walks, fence walks, blind in his right eye, accident prone, is a very very poor doer and fussy eater, feels the cold like you wouldn't believe, but when he falls asleep with his head in my lap making little whinnying noises, I can forgive him everything. FF is perfectly aware that Roy is the most precious horse on the planet, and that even when he's plunging and snatching his feet away and generally being an arse, he MUST NOT TELL HIM OFF. He's far too important. Spends most of his time saying "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!?!?!?!"

Cooly - Couloir
15.2hh
14yrs
Dapple grey with little brown fleabites on her nosey
TB
Half sister to Frenchman's Creek, so was raced as a youngster. Won once, but was far too careful over fences and basically just bloody slow, so went on to be a broodmare. Had three foalies (all of whom inherited her madness) and then decided that was boring and that she'd start aborting her babies. Sooo.. I got her for the princely sum of £200, with two Rambo rugs! She hadn't been sat on for over four years... and was a complete star! I only had about a year of riding her, as she then had an accident and lost the sight in one eye (yes I'm jinxed!) and the plot was lost with it! She's very definitely a one person horse, and I'm the only person who can get her on a lorry, or anywhere near a stable. I trust her implicitly, but wouldn't trust her with anyone else as she's a real worrier and gets herself in such a tizzy about life. When something upsets her, she tucks her head into the crook of my arm and hides her eyes...which makes me cry!

Kai - Wafting Morag
17.3hh and rising!
3yrs
Skewbald
Andalusian x ISH
I looked after him as a weanling, and watched him spook and clear a post and rail fence at just 10 months old... managed to buy him two years later! Has no idea how big he is, and is certain that he can fit into my car... nothing worries him at all. I'm sure a bomb could go off in his feed bowl and he'd just eat around the burnt bits. Trots like you would not believe, he just floats along. Bargey, weaves, bolshy, impatient, riggy, general pain in the arse, but was so good to break that he's forgiven. Currently working on manners and seperation anxiety! He is going to be a superstar eventer or dressage horse, but he needs to stop growing first. His new rug has lasted two weeks... and he now needs a bigger one!

Fellan- A Jackanory Story
18hh
12yrs
Chestnut with four white socks, a blaze, and a white splodge on his tummy
Branded Belgian Warmblood
Complete pain in the arse, but the best hunter in the world! Nappy at home to the point of being unrideable - has to be led from something or he won't leave the yard. Jumps anything he's pointed at, and sometimes things he isn't pointed at, including the OPEN yard gate, back end of a pick up truck, and the chicken coop. Spooky, silly, bugger to catch, windsucks, neighs like a boozer who's lost his voice, but once he knows and trusts you, he is such a honey. Loves attention, and would like everyone to know he's the most important horse on the yard, so why are you all talking to bloody Roy?! Lives for Avocadoes...

Scrumps - Scrumptious
13.2hh
34yrs
Bay with two white socks and a blaze
Dartmoor x
My lovely old pony, can break into any car or house, and will give you a wedgie if you aren't careful! Still going strong, if a little slowly, and still loves Diet Coke!

 

[Starzaan]

My darling puppy decided to tip diet coke all over my laptop... so pictures will have to wait til tomorrow my little squishies!!

 

[dibbin]

Ooh, that makes a difference ... and I think all our horses should have Starzaan-themed names. Dylan hasn't got a proper name, but I'm trying to come up with one.

I'm now making my thinking face, which makes me look like I'm in a gurning competition.

Fellan- A Jackanory Story
18hh
12yrs
Chestnut with four white socks, a blaze, and a white splodge on his tummy
Branded Belgian Warmblood

Ooh! Do you know anything about his breeding? My boy is also Belgian WB, chestnut and has 'fella' in his name too!

 

[Starzaan]

Oi!!! Stop thinking about names and start thinking about Operation Snare FF.

Honestly. I type out a bloody essay and you just go off and THINK.

PAH!

ETA - can't make it out to the tack room without my wheelbarrow, so can't look up Fellan's breeding for you, but I know he has Donnerhall lines if that's helpful?

I agree with the theme. however just so you know that my beasties all have names but may be changed if worthy starzaan type themes?

Dave-GAS CRAIC ( means a good time!)
Oliver- SHAMTASTIC (refers to his gypsey origins)
Honey- Honey Bee (the bee is actualy short for beehatch as she is proper naughty!)

New ponio- is grey filly very pretty and has black tail

Ok? so get your brain in line with your face and come up with something!

PAH!

Flipping eck starzaan! we are doing this to help you snare ff! ffs!
This names malarky is a screen to cover out coded messages so that tfc doesnt realise what we are upto!!!

And anyway dibbin has come up with another corker of an idea for me to snare the lovely vet! and im sure its foolproof? i just need to find someone who can tell me how to cook whelks???

 

[Starzaan]

Don't you FFS me! I shall come at you like a violent quiche all drugged like and mad....


Sadly I'm in the valley of the very very unwell right now and think I need to go and try to sleep. Just had my last injectiony drug of the day and it makes me feel horrendous!

Night night my squishies, I shall return all vibrant and vivid like little Johnny Boudoir Eyes tomorrow...

 

[MrsMozart]

Are ponies meant to drink Diet Coke?

Mine like tea.

And chocolate.

And bananas.

And fingers.

Hm.

Maybe I should feed them more often

 

[Starzaan]

This pony will ONLY eat his medicine if you hide it in a gooseberry or a peanut butter and mango chutney sandwich (don't ask me how we discovered this. You don't want to know).

People say horses are rather like their owners... mine are a bit mad... I think people are wrong. I'm all kinds of normal.

Done

And Yay!

 

[Echo Bravo]

Mine like beer. But Starzaan's horses sound just like mine, still have the dibbs on the 17.2hh Ganglous.

 

[Dubsie]

They do drink coffee:

Have you any pictures of FF (attending one of your ponies, of course) , so if we see him we can tell him to ask you out?

 

[Starzaan]

EB - if he doesn't work out I shall definitely give you first dibs on him! But only if you promise to keep his registered nameas Moragulous Ganglebag!

ETA - He's Richard Phillips' farrier... go and google your heart out. He already knows I'm a raging ninny escaped from a bin of idiots, and has read my lust crazed rantings, so a strange woman pouncing on him and telling him to ask me out would probably not surprise him at all...

 

[Echo Bravo]

Yeh!! and I get tablets down with garlic sausage(dogs that is,works wonders). So how is doing your horses at the moment (are your sure about the FJJ's).

 

[Echo Bravo]

Sorry WHO is doing your horses at the moment. (forget about FF, seems he's not really interested)

 

[Starzaan]

How depressing! I retract offers of Moragulous Ganglebag for that negative attitude! If you know something about FF and his interests, SPILL!!!

I am doing as much as I can before I collapse, and then the slack is taken up by lovely Ed, my very good friend Sadie, and the sausage wielder...

It's all very exhausting!

 

[Echo Bravo]

Well my mind is exhausted, my OH is in Denmark till Tuesday and have just the 4 dogs to cuddle up to and 2 of them fight, so off to bed, shall dream of 17.2hh Ex-masters horse to go with the rest of my horses(that's why my OH is still working bless him). And the whelks are still on strike, try the cockles

 

[dibbin]

You can't retract Moragulous Ganglebag! I'm sure it suits him already

I think Dylan's proper name could be The Farrier's Friend. As he is always losing shoes, which is why our farrier puts up with all the casual ear licking and bottom nibbling.

Millyard Rejects - what about The Waxy Lemon for your filly?

sounds fab! i shall send off for her passport with new name asap!

sounds fab! i shall send off for her passport with new name asap!

But definitely not The Unwaxed Lemon, as that sounds a bit wrong.

Somehow I knew Starzaan wouldn't have a yard full of 14.3 good-doer, hairy cob types.
