Guess what?? I am going to get a horse!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :horse: :horse: :horse: I am getting her on November 2nd. So excited! She is a 5 year old Standardbred. Her name is Artic now but I do plan to change it. So give me some name suggestions!
Restless Soul Shantih means peace Jinah Rocky Top Sweetheart Robin (she looks like a Robin to me) Whisper She is gorgeous! Is She trained? I advise you to have her proffessionally trained . . . trust me, even my bruises will tell you it is not worth it to try to train a young mare by yourself! she has a very nice head and neck, if she's tall you might consider show jumping her. Right now I am trying to talk my dad into buying a pure bred, Arabian colt (might geld him) who's a grey, will be atleast 16.2 hands when full grown, and I plan on show jumping with him. Congrats!!!! I have an entire tablet of horse names . . . if you want, I can email/send you the entire tablet if you send it back when your done . . .
She is beautiful! Roxy Delilah Kandi Bella Sisley I had a Tennessee Walker gelding who was almost 17 hands tall, he was my baby and I had him since he was a year old, but we had to sell him last year because the price of hay was just too high :tears:
Thanks everyone! I was actually thinking about Roxy, and I have a few other names in my head. She has been trail ridden for 2 years and she was a harness racer for a really short time at the age of 3. I am getting her from a rescue group. I really don't want a show horse or a show jumper or anything, just a trail horse. She is like 15 hh.
Awww, that's sad. I think I saw a video or something of him before. But it may have been someone elses. I heard that the Tennessee Walkers are really nice horses.
We had one that looked like her ......... she was gorgeous to................her name was "shadow"........LOL Our horse was a registered thoroughbred with all kinds of winning bloodlines...........she was really quick.........my husband use to race me ...... :horse: ....I had a quarter horse and of course .....he blow us away every time................. we sold our horses along time ago............they are good hay burners,,,, as my husband calls them,.....LOL....but we did love and enjoy them.............. At times I wish I still had them ....then other times I think..............at least I don't have to clean the stall.........clean there hoofs..........groom them..........vacinate........ worm them.........get them trimmed........feed them...........ride them..........well that part I didn't mind...........and all the other good stuff ........then it doesn't hurt as much........We do have friends that have horses and I can ride when ever I would like............LOL horses are a joy~! Have fun with your new and beautiful .......horse..........
Congrats! :stars: I know you're gonna love her! It's so rewarding to rescue a horse, they always show you how grateful they are.
Shes beautiful! Names that come to mind are; Gypsy, Crystal, Black Velvet, Etched in black, Roma, or Rhiannon. Personally Rhiannon has always been one of my favorite names, the Welsh goddess.
Thanks everyone! I get her next weekend. Thanks for all of the name suggestions. I will look back at them later and see which ones I like for her.
Congratulations. Will she need any additional training or is she pretty trail savy already?We trail ride alot and there is nothing more relaxing.She is a beautiful color. Have fun!
Yep, I got her. She is so sweet!! She was scared of the goats at first and she didn't like her stall. But now she is OK. We will see how she is on the weekend when I try to ride her. If she is bad with that then we will have to get rid of her. But she should be fine. I will post more pics on this thread when I get the chance. Thanks for checking in with me!
Hallee, Give her a chance to get use to all the new stuff in her life. Do not get discouraged if she is not doing what you want right off the bad. She has to learn that she can trust you. She is really a beautiful horse. Congratulations.
you probably know this already but a horse who trusts you will be more willing to listen to you. Just work with her on the ground first. Hanging out with her and working in barn/shelter or pen with her around will greatly aid you both in your relationship. Feed her treats and groom her. The more she hears your voice and touch the more confidence she will have in you and there will be minimal issues when you get up on her :greengrin:
