Stable name inspiration...

[grhands]

Bit of a fun thread. I've had my big (17.2hh) bay Selle Francais horse for a fortnight now and I can't keep calling him 'my bot' forever. I'm in need of a stable name for him, pref French inspired. He's a show jumper and very chilled to ride but a beggar in the stable. Hmmm any ideas?! If someone comes up with a fab name and I pick it there will be a prize lol. God knows what yet, online saddlery voucher for a tenner or something lol

edit - "my boy" not "my bot" what an unfortunate slip of the predictive text!

If you take the first part of showjumper - 'show', that's 'montrent' in French, so what about Monty?

René ~ Always makes me think of Allo Allo.

or
Chev ~ as in short for Cheval.

How about Daft Punk? French electo dance music duo, and a very cool name! I was torn between this and another name for my youngster. x

Gerard was an option me and my friend came up with thismorning after discussing a rather strangely sexy actor with a big nose! I keep thinking of the football player tho which is annoying

Just think about flying instead and that'll explain the dubious stable manners!
