Geez, Ed, you already have one mustang.  Now you have two?  You de man!!!!

Captain Jack is a cool name.  If you're not stuck with that one you really 
should call this colt Nevada.  I can't believe you drove all that way to 
pick up a BLM horse.  Did anyone else besides yourself buy a ticket?

Here's some other names:  "Nevada ED," "Mustang Ed," "NevaFlora,"  "Wild 
Eyed ED," "Ed Bucks" (naw, maybe not that one), "Captain Ed," "Captain 
Nevada," "Spanish Ed,"  "Bust my Eddy (kinda like that one),"  "Ed's the 
Man."

I got lots more but, hey, "Captain Jack" is cool and there are some that 
feel renaming a horse can bring bad luck.

Ed, you de man.  I wish you lived closer cause I'd love to see what you do 
with these horses.  I think it was incredibly smart of you to pick on a 
youngun.

cya,
Howard ("Bronkin ED" not to be confused with Broken Ed)

There are 2 ways to win at this sport. You take a horse and race him for a
short time and then find a new horse or you can take one horse , do the
homework and spend many miles and years enjoying that horse.
