is that one name, or a first and last name(s)?

Fat A$$. That way, when someone wants me to do something I'd rather not do, I can say, "No, thanks, I'd rather go sit on my Fat A$$."

I'd call mine, "Girlfriend."

And I would have guessed you would go for Shadowfax. I'm such a nerd

Hmmmmm.... that's mysterious. Have I demonstrated an interest in Greek mythology that I'm not aware of? And, if so, wouldn't Centaur or Pegasus make more sense?

Pywacket 2 years, 4 months ago

Haha! Now, that's ringing a bell... There was something about Goat Queen, wasn't there? Might need some help from the cuzins to dredge up the source of that rumor. ;-)

I don't have any goats, myself, but I admit I do love the voracious varmints---and you have an amazing memory for archival posts!

"First"...as in "First Grade" perhaps?

Anyway, if the horse was fast, I'd name it Firmus If it was slow, I'd name it Glue.

When I got my horse, he already had a name. But since it was a gelding, I referred to him as "it"

Apparently, the 6th and 7th of January are the best days for castration.

As a precaution, I would advise you guys to stay awake or sleep alone with the door locked. :)

I have both. Chickens are definitely more dumb. Horses aren't super-intelligent, but they can be trained.

wissmo 2 years, 4 months ago

Chickens eat with their peckers which aint too smart.

I don't know about the front half, but the back half would be called "obama".

radiohawk 2 years, 4 months ago

"Elway" for a stallion, "Sarah Jessica" for a mare. Or, just simplify it to "Dog Food".

You used a swear word, Tom. Feel free to repost w/out it. I'll message you the text if you need it.

Finally. Something worth commenting on! I would name my horse Jasper.

fleeba 2 years, 4 months ago

I've always wanted to name a horse Wildfire after the song of the same name by Michael Martin Murphy. I loved that song as a kid and names just about every horse stuffed animal Wildfire.

What could be sweeter than Rachael Ray in a Park trot.

LadyJ 2 years, 4 months ago

Well now some of you guys have my horse so upset I'm going to have to get his massage therapist out early this week.
