Urgh horse window shopping…

[druid]

Mae, Myrtle or Madison

 

[Bernster]

I should change thread title. That turned out to be not very painful at all. Viewed 1, bought 1.
Ignoring ads and going straight for breeders/producers was definitely the right move! This horse has never been advertised.

I thought that too !

 

[ester]

well that was efficient

 

[SEL]

Very flashy!!

Magic came to mind

 

[Mari]

My fantastic pony is a rescue from a local charity.

 

[quiteniceforacob]

She is amazing!! @Ambers Echo, which breeders and producers did you reach out to? Feel free to pm if you don't want to post! Thank you!

 

[shortstuff99]

Very nice! How about Mariposa?

 

[Ambers Echo]

That head - he really does put his stamp on his babies! Maisy

He really does. She looks so like Mylo. They have similar markings too: white socks, white face.

99% sold on Maia as a name. Greek Goddess, popular German name. Goes well with Mylo and not far off the cute name she goes by now which also starts with M and is 2 syllables.

I put a post on FB requesting personal recommendations of breeders/producers of horses. I then looked at pages of the ones I liked and reached out to a few.

Though in fact the breeder knew me because I used Legrande for Amber via natural cover, so Amber was at their yard for a while. And I’ve kept in touch about Mylo. She pmed me about this one when she saw my post.

I’ll pm you a link to the post if you like? Loads of suggestions - and a few names came up again and again x

Myla

 

[Ambers Echo]

OH is pushing for Mia- a nod to Mia Wallace, Pulp Fiction. Black hair, very glam.

I used to have a pet fancy rat called Maia Favonia (after a character in Lindsey Davies’ Falco series of Roman crime novels). She was the best girl! Sweet, cheeky and full of character. ETA, this Maia had black hair too - both the rat and the character.

Your possible ‘Maia’ looks fabulous.

 

[Asha]

Congratulations AE , she is very flashy . Look forward to following your adventures with her

That would be wonderful - thank you!

 

[southerncomfort]

Oh my! That movement!

Lovely!

 

[Red-1]

She looks

Congratulations!!!

 

[Welly Boot]

Early congratulations do you know much about the new arrival to join your gang

Yes - friend has had her since a weanling

 

[Ambers Echo]

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.

 

[Cavalier]

I like both Maili and Maia

She is absolutely stunning

 

[ester]

Depends how annoying you’ll find announcers getting maili wrong

 

[ihatework]

I like Mia.
Or Minnie/Maddie/Maizy?

She is also the colour of a maple leaf!

 

[IrishMilo]

She's very fancy! What will be your plans with her? Will you back her yourself?

 

[Suby2]

Mystique - Missy as a stable name

 

[Ambers Echo]

She's very fancy! What will be your plans with her? Will you back her yourself?

I'll start the process on the ground with Joe Midgley's guidance and get her ready for her first sit. If I then do that myself depends rather on how she reacts to other novel experiences. But either way, once she accepts a rider calmly and happily I will send her away to be produced further - I don't have the skills to school on. I am hoping a Joe/Sophie double act will take her on for a few weeks......

 

[Michen]

Mia is one of my middle names so I vote that haha!

 

[Ambers Echo]

I'm actually thinking totally differenly now. She's a gemini and her passport name is Lynaire Le Bling. And she is very Blingy. So... Gem? Or Gemini - Gem for short?

 

[AandK]

I was going to vote May (or Mae), as that is my middle name, but I see the thinking has changed!

I had to name my late mare (Kiana) and someone suggested using the back of an atlas (this was back in 1997!) so that's what I did. I picked K as that is what my name begins with, and found a name that I liked! (its in Alaska!).

 

[JenJ]

I love Mia or Maia, and she really is a beauty!

 

[Dam1]

Gem is nice - hopefully she'll be one lol x

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

Beryl is a type of gem

Tiffany, Pandora, Cartier, Chanel all brands which sell bling.
