The name game

I've been trying to think of a name for the new guy... there have been a few contenders. It wasn't really a big deal except we'd been to two jackpots and a sorting. Of course everyone was asking about the new guy.


what do you mean 'hey buddy' isn't my name?!


There were names I liked that sounded too girly. Names I liked that didn't fit my horse life (for example some sounded too 'Englishy' for a little barrel/cow/trail horse).

hmmm... let's see if I can think of something


Then yesterday, at the Canada Day jackpot/fundraiser, I did it. I gave him a name!

I have a name now? What is it!?

To be honest its one that I had scribbled down on a scrap quite awhile ago. One of those 'maybe one day I'll own a horse I could name...' things. (I have quite a list actually) So when I entered I said "I have both horses here today, Raincloud and the new guy, Voodoo."

I'm hoping that he and I can work some magic to regain my confidence!

    Voodoo, huh? I'd have never guessed he'd end up with that name. lol!
    I'm just glad the handsome boy finally does have a name.

    Now go work your magic. Just no sharp pins being poked into the opponent's horse and rider dolls.

    hehe!

    I like it - sounds fast, with a bit of mystique... Also reminds me of a fighter pilot code name - maybe from Top Gun???

    Ok, just starting to get caught up on blogs and just NOW noticed you had a new horse. I kept seeing the name Voodoo in newer posts. I LOVE the name. He's gorgeous too!! I'm glad that Pie is now home and hopefully there isn't any risidual issues with the absesses. That would, I imagine, be very painful. So congrats on Voodoo and glad to hear your hubby is doing better :)
