Show name needed- (much more fun than baby names!)

Dd's little mare needs a show name ( just for little local shows- not Olympia!) She is a white Arab mare- 18 but doesn't behave it. I think there are some pictures on my profile. She is called Spirit, and she goes to shows as Spirit of Arabia-but dd has grown out of that, and Is looking for something a bit more fitting to both the pony's age and hers!

And ideas?

Spirit of Arabia sounds wonderfully evocative - I couldn't top that I'm afraid.

I like to too- but dd has suddenly decided it's too babyish. And the next show is dressage only and she thinks it's more of a jumping name.

Isn't the show name what's in the passport? (My horse just has a plain old name both for stable and passport, and never goes to shows, but that's what I understood.)

Yes it is, really. But at little local shows like the ones we have round here the girls tend to invent names for their nags!

Spirit? I feel an alcohol name coming on. Or wouldn't that sit right in children's classes?

Spirit of adventure/beauty/freedom?
Our youngster is called Earlybird. He turned up a month earlier than expected! Grin

Well, pony showed her extreme displeasure today. Dd hasn't ridden her for mode than two weeks because of GCSEs and the isle of Wight Festival, so when she got on, pony dropped a shoulder and had her off. And then was sweetness and light. Spirit of Diva perhaps!

If she is an older horse could she be Teen Spirit?
I love one word show names, I really want to call one of my horses Nirvana or Discovery, I don't know why Confused Maybe she could use the fact she is grey in thinking up a show name, plus we never put the horses stable name in the show name as well, especially if they are a bit weird/boring lol

The mums at recent pony club show were highly amused by the very masculine show jumping instructor announcing little girl pony names at the recent show
