Urgh horse window shopping…

[HufflyPuffly]

Beryl says Beryl is a great name but it’s taken sorry .


I like Gem!

 

[Hamlet]

Oooo what a lovely purchase! Good luck with her. I’ve followed the breeder on FB for many years and actually think I saw her in the breeders field a couple of years ago when I visited with a friend. She has such a pretty face. I think she would suit a lot of gem names, Sapphire/Saffy springs to mind for me!

 

[BallyRoanBaubles]

I like Margo! Or Gemini

 

[Tiddlypom]

I’m hopeless at names, but having had a peek at the stallion’s FB page I agree that her current stable name doesn’t suit this lovely mare at all!

 

[AthenesOwl]

I love Mia/Maia or Margo, or Gemini for her. Whatever she ends up being named, she’s an absolute beauty.

Mia
Maia
Mieke
Maili (Pronouned May-Lee)

Love Maisie but had a dog called Maisie.

A friend is urging Margot but not sure. As in Fonteyn! Dancing horse.
Urgh this is hard!

Any feedback- good or bad - on any of those gratefukly received.

Plus @AthenesOwl & @Welly Boot we need more details on the other non-horses that defintely haven't been bought this week.

The non-horse that I’m definitely not buying (pending the not already booked vetting on Monday) is a gorgeous 17hh-ish bay ISH gelding. He’s 18, is a chilled out dude and although I tried really hard not to want to buy him, he was too lovely. I’m trying not to get too excited until after the vetting, but it’s very hard not to.

Good luck! Always a nerve wracking wait x

No it really doesn’t do her justice. It absolutely had to go!

 

[Caol Ila]

She is beautiful, but I agree: the current barn name has got to go. I like Mia and Gem.

So lucky, getting her started with Joe. I went through a whole thing in my head (mainly) a couple months ago when I saw him advertising a 30-day training space. Obviously not for backing, but I thought 30 days of Joe doing hackamore stuff with Hermosa would be amazing. Except she'd be away for a month, which I wasn't crazy about, and I couldn't really justify the ££££££££££ because she's actually fine. Not brilliant ('cause I don't know what the f8ck I'm doing), but competently fine. OH pointed out that his mum lives about half an hour away from Joe's barn, so I could go with her and stay for the month. Solves the first problem, but not the second. And I'm not sure that they want owners around for these sorts of things. I obviously wussed out, but if he was only an hour or two away, I might have thought harder.

I also went to look and cringed. What about some sort of precious stone or jewel name

[Ambers Echo]

It;s a great name for a kid's pony and I am sure suited her beautifully when she was a fluffy foal/gawky yearling... The family 2 year old named her (which makes sense!) and the name stuck - which also makes sense. But I think is sounds more like a nickname - think Squidge or Podge or Bunny for kids actually called Eleanor, Caroline or Elizabeth! Fine when young, but not a name to keep forever. She needs her proper grown up name now she's almost a proper grown up horse!

Anyway, I have narrowed it down to:

Maia
Mia
Mila
Myka
Gem.

Maybe I'll do a poll?

 

[Asha]

I like Gem , it also fit nicely with her being rather blingy

 

[Errin Paddywack]

My friend's fabulous dog of a lifetime was called Gem. My sister's little mare is called Mia and quite honestly she wishes she hadn't acquired her.
My vote is for Gem.

 

[tda]

I think Gem too

 

[Pinkvboots]

I like Maia or Gem

 

[Mrs. Jingle]

She is gorgeous huge congratulations and I wish you many happy years with her, whatever her name.

 

[2ndtimearound]

Maia or Gem for me too.

 

[TPO]

Another vote for Gem

Short and concise [for training], as well as being descriptive

 

[I'm Dun]

gem also fits in with Amber

 

[splashgirl45]

I’m very late to the party, how did I miss AE buying a horse??
Congratulations she looks very classy and moves nicely as well which is a bonus . Will be nice to see more pics when she is home

 

[Ambers Echo]

Picking up today. I’ve been awake since 4;30 - too excited to sleep !

 

[Trouper]

Has to be Maia - the brightest star in the Pleiades!!!

 

[bubsqueaks]

How exciting she looks very smart - enjoy.

 

[wills_91]

Don't sell Felix until I've won the lottery please he's been my all-time favourite "foal" on here

 

[Ambers Echo]

He is a sweetie. x
