Who wants to play...Name the Pony!

Postby blob » Thu Jan 10, 2019 1:49 pm

Hello!

As many of you know, I bought a new pony in September. He came with the show name Roanie Pony and the barn name Dash. I love the name Dash, but I'm not so crazy about Roanie Pony.

He's a 6 year old, unregistered welsh gelding. Originally, I thought I might try to get him registered, but more research has proven that registering him at this stage is going to be more of a hassle than it's worth for me. Which, means there's no reason to hold on to Roanie Pony. He's not registered with USEF or USDF either, so when I do hopefully get around to showing him, I can register him with whatever name I want.

I'd love to come up with a great show name, either one that is a play on 'Dash' or one that just really suits him, but I'm drawing a blank. So, I thought I'd see if any of you had some great suggestions. Of course, if I can't find the right show name, he'll just be Dash, which is perfectly fine!

A little bit about him:
He's still got some muscle and weight to put on, but even with it, he's fairly fine-boned so he's never going to look esp stout or solid
He's more of a dainty/graceful mover than a powerful mover
There's something rather effeminate/feminine about him--which is only highlighted by the fact that he currently has a sparkly pink browband--I meant to swap it out but it just looks so good on him! I'll add a picture of him with it on when I'm out at the barn next.
He's very sweet and a bit of a nervous nelly. Definitely not a naughty pony--he really wants to be good!
He's a bit dirty in all the pictures, but when he's freshly bathed-clean, his tail is nearly white

Ooh, I love Dashiell.

There is something in his eye and color that reminds of a wonderful grey Arabian I leased many years ago. She went through amazing coat changes as she aged (including a pink stage!). She was a total gem no matter what color she became each spring :-)

Thanks, everyone, these are fun!

I like Dashiell a lot. I also like Dash of Cinnamon, could even be Dash of Spice.
