Re: [RC] [RC] New horse desperately needs new name! - Ag47xAu49
In my opinion, they become their name, be it because
you treat them that way or not. Our new 3 yr old QH came with the name
Rowdy. I would not have a horse by that name. Anna (14 yr. old daughter)
and I were watching "Finding Neverland" with Brad Pitt and the name
"Porthos" was used. We looked at each other and that became his name. He is
truly a Porthos, a portly drunk (on hay, he NEVER stops eating). One more thing
to consider is the name and how it sounds compared to the others on the place. I
discipline much with my voice and they listen. The other two are named
Zebby and Silver. Porthos is a totally different sound so I can scold them from
a distance and they know who I am talking about. Sorry about the verbal
loose-stool. Beccy in Ut.
PS If anyone out there can find the "meaning" of
Porthos, let me know. I have tried to pin point it but have only found him to be
the 4th Musketeer and a portly drunk
