The best Christmas present ?

[Muddywellies]

I also once knew a Softie who was a lovely horse.

 

[Hamlet]

There will be when you start it ? she's lovely I'll look forward to following her progress.

My arm has been twisted! ?

And thanks all for the name suggestions…although I’m worried I’m so picky she’s just going to be called “the horse” until mid February.

 

[Ratface]

The Horse is just right! A lovely one, at that. Congratulations.

 

[pistolpete]

Seren or Serenity or Soroya or Callie or Zinnia or Scarlet or Tara. She’s beautiful. Bonita.

Rumour

 

[teapot]

Deserves a Christmas themed name, what a great present!

 

[pistolpete]

The work Gift in several different languages is quite nice. Cadeau in French Regalo is Italian and Spanish. Good luck choosing!

 

[holeymoley]

Very pretty! I like Cleo/Clio

 

[leotom]

She’s lovely! How about Bonnie? Or Peggy? Or something Christmas related maybe!

 

[pistolpete]

Sotto voce or Purdy

 

[smolmaus]

She is absolutely gorgeous, congratulations!!

Surussus was the first word came to mind with "softly spoken" but you'd call her Susy anyway.

 

[GSD Woman]

I keep thinking Hush, Quiet, Lowdown.

 

[Surbie]

I really like Fern. Or, given you want to do a bit of dressage with her, how about Minuette?

 

[TinseLeneHorse]

Another old fashioned name - Sonnet.
She is a lovely looking mare, hope you have years of happiness with her xx

 

[vmac66]

Beautiful girl.
How about Sasha.

 

[Peglo]

She’s beautiful!! What a lovely Christmas gift. What about secrete.

 

[babymare]

She is beautiful. And those eyes ??

 

[pistolpete]

If Christmassy could be Holly Ivy Nollie Chrissy Kristie She sure is a Bonnie girl

 

[Melody Grey]

I would call her mouse for the mousey brown patch on her nose...and mice are softly spoken.

she looks lovely OP, how exciting!!

 

[Trouper]

Oh how gorgeous - just can't beat an ex-racer!!!

Names are so personal so it is worth taking your time - Solstice and Merry came to mind for the time of year you got her but I guess you just need to hit on the one that fits her personality when you get to know her.

Looking forward to the new thread!!

 

[Ample Prosecco]

She’s gorgeous.
I was going to suggest Sophie too. Or Holly to go with Christmas theme.

 

[PapaverFollis]

I like Solstice as a name!

 

[twiggy2]

She looks lovely
Names;
Hush
Murmur
Spoke

 

[Merrymoles]

Softly Spoken is a lovely name but, as you say, hard to do much with. I like Solstice too but not as much as I like your new girl!

 

[Jeni the dragon]

A friend had the most amazing horse called Softy! A really kind, cuddly boy.

She's very pretty! I hope you have loads of fun with her.

 

[Hamlet]

Thank you all for the wonderful name suggestions! I tried some on for size and were lovely but just not “hers”. Turned her out with her new friends and Darcie just came out…and I think that’s the one!

She’s been an absolute angel so far, probably the best behaved on the yard!

 

[YorkshireLady]

cracker
holly

That’s nice. I called mine ‘the little horse’ for weeks and weeks til one just felt right. Only now he still gets called the little horse all the time too.

 

[YorkshireLady]

apologies missed Darcie - that is also a great name...

 

[SatansLittleHelper]

She's gorgeous ?
Softly Spoken- Whisper ?
