geri s asked:


I would like suggestions for a unique, very meaningful name for the new horse I just got. He is a 13 year old gelding. half/arab-half bashkir/curly, 14.2 hands. He lived in absolutely horrific conditions for 7 years! I won’t go into all the sad details, but when I got him, it was heart-breaking to see a horse in such bad physical and emotional shape…. he had been twitched and tied up to a tree while an inexperienced person removed his wolf teeth, with no analgesics or sedatives, for one example. He came to our family and is now filling out, his scars are fading, he is beginning to trust me, and he turned out to be extremely well broken for English hunt seat. He is a bay with dark points, a white blaze on his face, and he has little patches of his bashkir-curly inherited coat, all over his body. He has been through hell and back; now he will live out the rest of his days with me and my other horse, as my personal trail horse and buddy. He has a goofy personality; he is really funny to watch, and sometimes he acts like a clown, or just a big dork!! He is so loveable and does not have a mean bone in his body, but seems so grateful for being rescued. I am trying to think of a meaningful name for him to carry the rest of his life. The people who mistreated him called him “Ned the Dead”, because he was a laid back horse when they got him, who turned into a very timid, downright terrified boy who never fought back when being tortured. That name makes me nauseous, and I don’t ever want to hear him called that again! Please help me find a name..and please, I have already heard the obvious..Lucky, Chance, Patches, King, Prince etc. I am looking for something unusual that has a meaning pertaining directly to him and what his life has been. Put on your thinking caps, please and help me out!!!!!
