New name needed for a pony....

seeker · 22/09/2012 20:27

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..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Riker.

EBDTeacher · 22/09/2012 21:55

Brego- although that does bring a big bay to mind.

I do like Puffin.

lottiegarbanzo · 22/09/2012 21:55

Hindley??? As in Brady??? North Pennines rather than Y Dales but No!

monsterchild · 22/09/2012 21:57

I like Pip, it's a little more solid to me.

How about Chuck? it's fun and you can certainly holler it from afar...

I also like Roland, seems so very 14th century....

EBDTeacher · 22/09/2012 22:07

Actually, he sounds like a Danny.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 22/09/2012 22:26

No! Hindley as in Earnshaw. Brother of Catherine in Wuthering Heights! Confused

Shock Shock Shock

It is unlucky to change the name of a pony.

Pixel · 22/09/2012 22:30

Oh, Earnshaw is a fab name!

NellyJob · 22/09/2012 22:31

another vote for Freddie

NellyJob · 22/09/2012 22:32

exit has a point though

lottiegarbanzo · 22/09/2012 22:33

Ok but still, no.

Must admit, we've never changed their names due to the bad luck thing.
Can you not just make it Lewis? I used to adore Lewis Collins, (had a big poster on my wall) I would love a pony called Lewis as next best thing to bodie obv

Sorry, orange Sad.

He is lovely though. He's a business deal between dd and her dad. He is going to finance him and dd has to present accounts and see if she can sell him once she's brought him on. (we are fully aware that a profit is vanishingly unlikely- but dd remains optimistic!) she has done all the research, and found him and found a field. She's blogging about him already- the idea is that when the time comes to sell him there'll be a full record of his life with us.

I suspect he's only doing it to keep her mind off boys.........

Well she has bought at the right time! Ponies are worth very little at the moment.

NellyJob · 22/09/2012 22:55

oooh I know saggy, they were practically giving them away at last months horse sales and I did wonder how many were going for meat.
