So I'm either incredibly brave or stupid. Just purchased an ottb called Stickleback who is a chestnut mare <- hence brave or stupid. I need a stable name for her. I'm hopefully going to start pairs dressage with Pen on North. My last tb I renamed JD because at the time it was my favourite drink, my current favourite tipple is s*x on the beach so I might name her peach. She's an orangey red chestnut (I will get pictures once she's delivered) so peach would fit. I dunno though.. <br />
Edited title, reason in last comment.

Orangey red lol basically copper

Beach Babe? Surfer Girl? Good luck with your new girl!

Cheers · Jul 12, 2017 1:28 PM

Coppertone? The sunscreen I mean.

Alohomora · Jul 12, 2017 1:34 PM

Congratulations on your new horse! I knew a copper chestnut gelding whose registered name was Sawman. I hope your mare has better manners than he did!

I like the name Peach, or Tangerine. Once she is delivered and you get to know her for a few days, would you describe her personality to us?

JamesBayMemorial · Jul 12, 2017 2:54 PM

I'm allergic to sun creams so I've never heard of coppertone @Cherrs.

@Alohomora I'll have plenty of pictures and will definitely describe her.

If she's a typical chestnut tb mare she's getting called ginger b*tch

HunterUnderSaddleGirl · Jul 12, 2017 4:09 PM

Congratulations! I bet she'll be nice. Let us know! We call the red orangey mare at the barn Fanta.

Cheers · Jul 12, 2017 4:51 PM

Apparently it's an American brand as well, James. If you Google Coppertone Girl you can see the logo, which involves a puppy pulling down a little girl's bathing suit bottoms (old style) or tugging on her sundress (new style).

I'm a massive fan of the OTTB! I'm sure y'all will do great together!

ObsidianKitsune · Jul 12, 2017 5:32 PM

PeachBlosson? It's the name of an orney warhorse in a book. Although he was a gelding and a roan, I think...

Cheers · Jul 12, 2017 6:04 PM

There's always Peachy Keen too...

ConfluenceFarms · Jul 12, 2017 6:13 PM

I think you should call her Sunshine and Light. You are TOTALLY starting off on the wrong foot! :P Ooo, look! Jodie Foster was a Coppertone girl! https://www.google.com/#q=coppertone+girl (the video on the description is a yawner, though)

Kinetic · Jul 12, 2017 7:12 PM

Congrats! I think Peach is a cute name. :)

MoonAcre Stables · Jul 12, 2017 9:43 PM

Hooray for red headed mares. I dont own one personally but I love one and tolerate another :))

But congratulations!

JamesBayMemorial · Jul 13, 2017 12:49 AM

I could call her Red Hare from dynasty warriors, that horse is big, fast and red

MoonAcre Stables · Jul 13, 2017 3:36 AM

Or go with shades of / things that are red lol

Scarlet, Carmine, Crimson, Carnelian, Russet, Garnet, Ruby

Merlot or Sangria since your last horse was named after alcohol :)

Peninsula · Jul 13, 2017 6:27 AM

Ginger beer!

best friend · Jul 13, 2017 8:16 AM

Congrats

BreezyCreek · Jul 13, 2017 6:23 PM

I love Peach!Don't let the stereotype precede her - I just got a red OTTB mare as well. I love her more every time I work with her. It can be challenging, but so worth it!

kassierae · Jul 14, 2017 9:01 AM

@moonacre "tolerate" :)) I also love one very, very dearly and tolerate the other lmao.

The one mare in the Saddle Club books(I'm old...) was named Garnet. And Ginger from Black Beauty. I love me some red head mares. :)

JamesBayMemorial · Jul 14, 2017 9:03 AM

Her stable name is fish (for now) and she is extremely laid back, I actually know a cob with more go than her. She's 8 and ran her last race beginning of June (stickleback if you want to Google her)

JamesBayMemorial · Jul 16, 2017 6:53 AM

Aww I can't share my pics

BreezyCreek · Jul 16, 2017 1:01 PM

I've used tinypic to share pictures here before and it worked!

JamesBayMemorial · Jul 16, 2017 5:10 PM

I'll give it a try. Thank you

JamesBayMemorial · Jul 16, 2017 5:21 PM

JamesBayMemorial · Jul 16, 2017 5:21 PM

Yay they worked!

Cheers · Jul 16, 2017 5:49 PM

Oh she's a cutie! Love her "been there done that" attitude in the second pic.

fj1482 · Jul 16, 2017 6:22 PM

She's pretty. I saw more picture's of her on Micky Hammond Racing tweeter. I love her blaze. I think the Rat Pack Racing club is kind of cool too and would probably call her Sinatra or Sina just because of that. It can do double duty if your a Hunger Games fan too though Cinna and Frank Sinatra are both men lol.

JamesBayMemorial · Jul 17, 2017 4:23 AM

I didn't know she was on there. I'm going to have a look. She's really laid back. Still waiting for her to arrive though as delivery is when they're passing by my yard

SandycreekFarm · Jul 17, 2017 5:17 AM

Part of your difficulty posting pictures is that Photobucket has recently decided it can't afford having direct links to images on accounts there any more. They are looking for a $400 annual payment to allow it to continue!

Ammit uses Imgur, I believe, so you may want to check that out, if you do a lot of linking.

I've had a paid account at pbase.com since long before I started playing Hunt and Jump. It costs me $23 a year for up to 1000mb of photo storage. Since I try to carefully control the size of my images there, I'm a long way from using up my first 1000.

JamesBayMemorial · Jul 18, 2017 11:19 AM

So it's just not to be. The owners are being very quiet and I'm sick of having to message them so I'm not buying her. I'm not chasing anyone for a horse, may seem like a moody so and so, but if someone wants to sell a horse they tend to keep in constant contact with the buyer

MasquradeLady · Jul 18, 2017 12:20 PM

Ginger! Like the gorgeous chestnut in Black Beauty

JamesBayMemorial · Jul 18, 2017 2:26 PM

@Masquerade doesn't really matter now as I'm not getting her

HunterUnderSaddleGirl · Jul 18, 2017 2:33 PM

Bummer

JamesBayMemorial · Jul 19, 2017 3:14 AM

I'll find another, hopefully closer to home

fj1482 · Jul 19, 2017 5:29 AM

It always makes me nervous when I seller is quiet or to pushy. I was going to buy a Friesian from over seas but their was something off I just felt about the seller. He would not talk to me over the phone, only email. When I called the transport company they confirmed they had pick up orders but not to pay for him until they had him in their hands. He never did make it into their hands. Oh well, your right there are many more out there.

JamesBayMemorial · Jul 19, 2017 10:08 AM

@fj1482 it seemed as though I had to push them for info and answers. When I was selling my trailer tent (not a horse but same principle) I was in constant contact with the buyer. They asked a question about it and I replied as soon as I could, not days later after asking the question again like the woman selling the horse. It's been about 3 days since I asked about when the earliest was that they could deliver, no reply, they don't even know where I'd want her delivered to.

JamesBayMemorial · Aug 3, 2017 2:33 PM

So the seller was trying to arrange transport and didn't bother to get in touch, but, she's getting delivered on Sunday and I'm keeping the name fish
