ok- I'm giving you all one more chance to rename our new pony. He's a bqlck Dales with a star, a snip and a sock.

Currently he's called Louie, which we don't like, but which will stick if we haven't thought of something else by the time he arrives at 11.00 tomorrow.


please..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We changed Dds youngsters name. She was called Majic Milliey. Being a total pedant, I just couldn't bear the spelling! Also we have Polly and Molly, so Milly was a bit too close. She is called Magic Skye now. (Skye for short) She has gone from strength to strength since we got her.

Changed my pony's name - and passport. Maybe if I hadn't he wouldn't be such a numpty.

I know. But I don't believe in luck - bad or otherwise-and his passport will probably stay the same anyway.

Its supposed to be bad luck to change a pony's name...

We think he's going to be Banner. I'd show you, but I can't put pictures on my profile on my iPad and I don't know why not.

I have a black pony with a star a snip and a sock...he's called Blackie - I am being serious but appreciate it's not very inspired...his real name is Lancelot if that helps. I really like Louie though so I probably wouldn't change it if he was mine.

Well, they've set off to get him. Hope he loads........eeeeeeek!

I like Atticus- and dd did TKAMB for GCSE.

Dd is liking Banner a lot at the moment. We've agreed on a family meeting over pizza tonight to discuss a shortlist.

Everybody stop talking about how cheap ponies are.
It's not helping!

I want one so bad my tummy hurts.

I promise to give sensible answers if I get to have a share in DD's pony.

Atticus
Ché
Cassius
Rudy
Marley
Thelonious

(these are sensible answers to me, check me out on baby name threads)

When I was little I had a pony called Telstar (gives away age) hi still miss him.

Dd has said she'll be happy for him to be the mumsnet pony as long as whenever she asks a question there are no more than 3 silly answers. Once 3 people have said Usain Bolting, Mo Farrier and Pudding or similar, everybody thereafter has to be serious!

Happy to offer Louie- or whatever his name will be- as the mumsnet pony. He will have a blog- so he'll be easy to follow. And we'll need all the expertise and cheering on we can get!

true saggy, it was indeed the West Wales horse sales that I saw these very cheap ponies.

Srira, Sadly, pony breeding is a problem. Ive got friends in Welsh A's who've seen farms in Wales breeding dozens, in order fo keep a few. The rest just get mass culled by the meat man. Gypsys are also responsible for high numbers. Check out DragonDriving for a view of a few. Sad
TBH, sometimes the meat man is a good option.

Do it, do it! . Maybe there should be a MN pony and all the sad, grown-up, pony-mad teenagers could vicariously enjoy the MN ponies...sort of a virtual part-board Grin.
