I've Got A New Man In My Life!

constantine03 · Sep 23, 2008

I love him already! :hyper:

He's 5 years old. A Canadian Warmblood x Saddlebred. His previous owner called him 'Hawk.' I'm not a huge fan of that name though. What do you think he looks like? Help please!

He's going to the trainer on Wednesday and will be there for 60 days. It just kills me! It's like getting a new car and not being able to drive it!! The trainer's 3 1/2 hours away, so I'll only be able to make it up a few times in that period...but at least he'll be quite the gentleman when he gets home.

So...now...help me name him!!!

Ahhh its unlucky to change a horses name!! And I believe all that superstitious nonsense-hence why I have a horse called Eric!

He is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! His nose looks so soft and touchable....he reminds me of moonlight, so I'll suggest these... Rishima(Hindi name meaning moonbeam)Mizuki( Japanese word meaning "beautiful moon")Kamaria( Swahili, meaning "like the moon") or Chandra (Hindi myth name referring to a god of the moon)....I'd love to have a horse!!!

I've heard this. I asked about it on a horse forum, and they all said that they all change their horses names.

I know this may sound kind of... unoriginal, but how about Grey? It's a soothing name that seems to support his attitude in the pictures (and his color!).

constantine03 · Sep 23, 2008

Grey is cute...but I'm looking for something that I can pair with a registered name. I thought about Oskie because I go to U of I and our mascot used to be the Chief-- "Chief Illiniwek's Oskie Wow-Wow"-- until they made us get rid of him (racial discrimination :dunno:

). Then I could use the full name as his registered name and Oskie as his barn name. I also thought about naming him Eros, and listing his registered name as "To Eros is Equine." I dunno. The first fits him a bit better as he'll be registered as a Pinto, but I'm not 100% sold on calling him Oskie (pronounced "aw-ski").
