oh, and guess his breed :)
 
He looks like a "Dobbin" to me, or "Teddy", although that's really common. He's a cutie! Congratulations on your new boy!
 
Ah, bless him.

The name Penwyn means the fair-haired and has its origins in Ireland.

I think the name suits him very well.
 
I like the name Penwyn, we had a little Welsh pony which I named Fenwyn, so probably why I like it.

But if I had to pick a name, he looks like a Harry to me, yes Harry. :)
 
penguin is adorable!!! to me, he really doesnt suit penwyn lol and he is a New forest. he does look like a welsh but hes a NF. he is a little terror. hes been sneaking up on the the other horses and biting their bums and running away so he a right wind up merchant!! i love him!

Penguin. Brilliant. Nice little chap, hope you all get on well together.

Read this:

Date of Origin 16th c.
Penguin is one of the celebrated mystery words of English etymology. It first appears towards the end of the 16th century (referring to the ‘great auk’ as well as to the ‘penguin’) in accounts of voyages to the southern oceans, but no one has ever ascertained where it came from. A narrative of 1582 noted ‘The countrymen call them Penguins (which seemeth to be a Welsh name)’, and in 1613 John Selden speculated that the name came from Welsh pen gwyn ‘white head’. Etymologists since have not been able to come up with a better guess than this, but it is at odds with the fact that the great auk had a mainly black head, and so do penguins. The earliest known reference to the word (from 1578) mentions the birds being found on an ‘island named Penguin’, off Newfoundland, so it could be that it was originally the name of the island (perhaps ‘white (i.e. snow-covered) headland’) rather than of the bird. However, a further objection to this theory is that a combination based on Welsh pen gwyn would have produced penwyn, not penguin
