My almost New boy

I'm going to get him on the 18th! (9 days)
He is a Bay Varnish Roan with spotted blanket (right?)
8 years old.
14.2 hands.
Going to make one great horse!

Right now his name is Casper.
Don't know if I want to chance it or now.
But if I do I would like some Ideas for names.
I was thinking Viento (Vin) its spanish for Wind. what do you think?

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he is beautiful, Just Joan will love him...........

I had a feeling that she might

wow.. he's nice I like him too.. congrats.. Yup Joan will like him for sure.. lol

very nice......
It is bad luck to change their names. I am not supertious ( spelling) but I changed my first horse's name with absolutely terrible results.

has anyone else heard of this ?

never heard of that.
I've had friends change horse's names without problem.
If the horse is older and has not changed owners alot then no I would not change the name.

I kind of see it as about the same as giving the horse a nickname that you would use all the time. And I'm sure we all call our horses "Baby" "little girl (boy)" "Sweetstuff" "cutey" "cutepie" etc...

WOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...................he looks terrific.................I do love appys.............I changed Bucks name................his real name is Southern Chicken and then he had stall names.....................and he didn't care...........honest.....call him whatever you like, just so long as you dont call him late for supper!!!!!!!!!!!!! congratulations................ :cowboyhound.gi

Thanks Joan!
Thought you might like him.
I can't want to get him!
8 more days!!!
Starting to work out the days trailering! (using my friends trailer but she also needs to use it, but its working out grand!)


What about Buckey... ahaha maybe not...
I'm not too good picking names for my own stock....... :roll:

He's cute.

I have never changed my horses names from what they were when i got them. I know people that do and it's fine. However i don't like/would never give my horse a name like buckey, kicker whatever cause i just think they will turn out like there name and be a bucker or kicker lol. I'm just weird like that.

I said Buckey because Joan's appy gelding is Buck....
just for fun.

anyways.

Hi there,

He looks like a total sweetheart. I think Viento is a beautiful name. Horses should all be able to run like the wind at some point--it's in their nature. Casper is a cute name for sure....but most people would associate that name with Casper the WHITE ghost.....and he's not all white...then you'd get the questions throughout his lifetime...."Why is he named Casper?"....over and over again.

Then again, he is 8 years old and he knows his name as Casper.

Oh, i am NO help am I...



Well, good luck with his name--he won't care what he's called....long as he isn't called late for supper! Tee hee!

I hope you two share lots of happy times.

hehehe,
yea, even now people will Say Casper the friendly ghost as you said.

I really like Viento.

I think I'm going to wait till he is home and see more of what his personality is fully like.

I'm sure we will have LOTS of great times!

Heather he is fabulous......Whose trailer are you using? Susan's?

He is once nice boy. Where did you find him?

He seems to be quiet ....

Heather I find he looks like Gambler - Celines horse........

I would not change a name unless absoluteley necessary.

If you were to change it - go to something simlar so it is not as hard to adapt - maybe even use his present name and new choice at the same time and later wean it to the one you want.

I like Buck
Vin is original

I think he looks like a

Dozzer
Camaro
Dodge

Yup going to be using Sue's.

He is super friendly and a really nice ride.

I found him on Kijiji
He is really quiet.

I'm also fond of apps....I"m almost anxious for you...oh goodness all this waiting. :cowboyhound.gi .

Only 4 more days!
we will not be able to do chores fast enough that morning! haha
Its going to be a crazy full day!
I'm going to the stable my friend owns in the morning to help with chores (he is doing the hauling) there is going to be at least 4 of us. My friend and one of the other girls are going to be hauling her horse to a trainer (which is like 30 mins away.) while me and another girl start on chores. Once they are back and chores are done we head out on the road. Pick up the trailer on the way and We are going to pick up lunch on the way.
So then we go get my new boy haul him home. watch him for a while and then take Dodger home (if able.) and drop off trailer and then go back to my friends stable (where we started out) and it will probably then be time to do supper chores.

TOMORROW IS NEARLY HERE................NO WAY YOU ARE SLEEPING TONIGHT :roll: :roll:

I don't know...
I almost fell sleep working today... and its cleaning Stalls so not easy to fall asleep.
I don't understand. last night I went to bed around 9:30!!!! I never get to bed before 10 for the past months.
it was really nice... and I finaly slept the WHOLE way thought the night!!!

If I don't fall asleep normaly I might have to steal some of my dads sleeping pills hahahaha.
ONE MORE DAY! ONE MORE DAY! ONE MORE DAY! ONE MORE DAY!!!
Wait a second... there is less then one more day now....
UNDER ONE MORE DAY! UNDER ONE MORE DAY! UNDER ONE MORE DAY!!!

now what to do... I think a nice little nap might be in order... as I cleaned out some goats at work today... about 2 feet of packed in crap... I'm sore and tired... And now I'm never going to have Pigs, lots of chickens or goats...
The smell of the small barn was sicken... and it has lots of windows and space... pigs chickens and goats just plain old STINK!
