Old fashioned pony names

[CosmicVagina]

I'm going to look at a Welsh A tomorrow, indulge me with some old fashioned names for a grey mare.

I'm not a fan of Elsa/Princess type names. She is registered but nothing springs out of it that I like - so far I like Bounty, Coco(nut), Snowmane (Snowy)...

I came in to say Gwen but your not after that sort of old fashioned.

Misty would be a classic, I think

Aw Misty is such a classic.

I learnt to on ride a Welsh A called Totty. I went back to see her a couple of years ago. She was 33 when I last saw her. Such a beautiful girl.

We had a Welshie called Brandy, he was a little shit and we adored him.

Taffy

Oh! I just remembered the other Welshie at the stables was called Gladys, and she was a grey mare too.

Misty, Silver, Cloud, Cobweb...this is way more fun than the baby name threads although you've given a better brief than a lot of those do too 😂

I used to ride one called candy..she was a beauty!

Was also going to say Misty - must be the most popular name for a Section C/D😂

What about Indigo/Indy, Flicka, Penny, Minnie?

Trigger

Tiffin? Ghost/Phantom? (Pussy) Willow?

Dobbin
Grey
Silky

My friend has a Welsh A called Fanny (think she was originally Myfanwy) which I think has a certain ring to it.

Silver, Misty, Sparkle, Frosty, Cloudy, Storm, Sixpence.

Having been at the stables today (yay, theyre open!)

Coudy
Snowy
Snow
Whitey (original!)
Chunk
followed by Steve.

Everyone LOVES Steve.

Pepper
Cloudy
Valkyrie
Betsie
Poppet

My grey pony was called Sharon

Babycham
Daffodil
Snowdrop
Cloudy

Or Ginny or Flicka as a nod to childhood books!

What is she called /nicknamed at the moment, I take it you are rejecting the old horseman's superstition about renaming horses being bad luck ?

I think nature-inspired names are nice for Welshies/little ponies, things like Holly, Rowan, Berry, Seren/Star, Luna, Fern, Sky, Willow, Robin, Poppy, Rose/Rosie, Lily? Or old-lady/milkmaid-ish names, I've known ponies called Polly, Molly, Dotty, Dora, Trudy, Queenie, Maggie, Bunty, Nellie, Bessie, Jenny, that kind of name?

Or along the Bounty/Coconut theme, maybe Polo, Minty, Candy, Snow(y), Alba (means white in Latin), Bianca (Bee for short?), Cloud, Daisy, Pearl? The only thing that would make me hesitate on choosing a too 'white' name would be if she's anything like most little ponies she'll be more of a fetching shade of green-brown most of the time!

Dapple, Shadow, Snowy - all welshies I have fond memories of.

Can't go wrong with Misty too!

I agree with pp, this is much better than a baby name thread!

My grey pony was called Sharon

Ha, love Sharon, what a great name! I also had a childhood Poppet, he was anything but unfortunately, and also a Gold, short for Good-As, again both named with a certain hint of sarcasm

Pearl, Crystal, Winter, Dawn, Lightening, Trigger

Merrylegs

I always thought if I had a horse I'd name it Drummer, like Christina's in Flambards. I vote Drummer.

Other options could be Grey, Misty, Treasure, Dolly, Missy, Nala

Pippin?
