I am utterly rubbish at thinking up show names for horses! But I would like to enter Finnegan under something a litle more showy :) I wanted a show name for my pony Summer, but was too rubbish at thinking of one and then too scared to enter her under a show name :p

He is passported as 'seaview finnegan' due to the name of the stables he came from in ireland , but to me he is just finn. So really something irish would be quite nice, but nothing too complicated and hard to pronounce! I was thinking of entering him as Oberon for a start- with the whole irish fairy link and classical english link- but my mum and sister decided it sounded far too much like 'obi-wan' (kenobi) and flatly refused to enter him as that :p

Unless I can come up with anything that suits him then he will just have to be entered as Finnegan. He is going to his first show tomorrow, but just a starter show so the name thing can wait a bit longer. I probably won't use a show name for his first shows anyway but am hoping to compete him a fair bit over next year :)

Here are pictures of him to help. He is a 15.2hh 8y/o ISH, very sweet + loving, clever and mischievious.

(btw that's not his saddle- I know it doesn't fit him well! was just testing size)

Finnegans Wake or Finnegans Rainbow which are both books or Pot of Gold after the rainbow/leprechaun/Irish connection? :)

YAY another skewbald called Finn awsome :)

I too am trying to get some names so will see what gets suggested on your thread ha ha, I did put up a thread a while ago asking but got no replies :(

Your Finn is gorgeous too like mine also little cheeky shame we can't do pairs as they are same size colour name ha ha.

If anyone can think of a name for my Finnigan that would be great too, he is just Finnigan in passport I would also like to keep to the Irish theme.

Double wammy for show names (IF OP doesn't mind). :) :)
here's my Finn..
