Pacer with no history needs a name

[kellybee]

Hi folks,

I have an amazing little 16yr old Standardbred/pacer with no known history except that he was harness raced in a previous home. Vet couldnt find a microchip and he had no passport either.

The last eight months i've been working on his balance, progressing into jumping which he LOVES, and will be taking him to his first show next weekend. The thing is, i dont have a name to use in the ring (we call him Ollie). He's very dark bay, cheeky, a bit of a grump sometimes and the kind of horse who thinks ahead.

Some people say pacers will never make decent riding horses but mine proves otherwise - something that reflects this would be great, i just cant figure out how to say that in a few words!

Suggestions welcome

Ps: he's the dark bay on the far left and second from right in my sig

He's not bay though - he's seal brown, look at his lovely brown muzzle, so kissable

 

[kellybee]

Yes, lol i do think brown sounds so much more boring than bay though, its a bad habit i've had since childhood.

And thanks, he nips when i kiss his nose but its just so squishy soft i cant help myself (much to his disgust!)
