Our two colts need barn names. They've been referred to so far as "Bay colt" and "Blue colt" even though the last colt is buckskin, he is sired by our stallion, Blue. We really want something awesome but not in English... another language like Spanish, French, Latin, Italian, etc... This is the buckskin colt. I don't have many good photos of him yet. He is a daaark sooty buckskin. He is the one I posted a little while ago that was pretty thin, wormy and was bought from the lady who knew nothing about horses but had retained the horses from our friend who moved to El Salvador. These are of him wet. [img]http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/284413_243207565699767_1…] This is from when he first arrived. [img]http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/250848_215790551774802_1…] He has a good stop on him and he's quick as can be. Very witty, independent. Then we have the Bay colt. [img]http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/249251_242741209079736_1…] He is more personable. A ladies man. But he knows he is sexy and isn't afraid to show it off when turned out. He is also very quick and stops well. He thinks he's a super star and incredibly famous. ;) [img]http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/226693_2119197104346_137…] [img]http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/246818_2119197984368_137…] [img]http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/225923_2119199184398_137…] [img]http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/248133_2119201144447_137…] [img]http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/248548_2119205904566_137…] Thanks everyone!

Like Croatian?

Tamno and Ženskar

Tamnu means dark and Ženskar can mean ladies' man/womanizer (lol)

Or Darko, which means gift. I know someone with that name and he rocks.

No name guess, but finally some one else who braids manes!!!! I get the reaction, 'Oh, you're one of THOSE people' and I'm like yeah I like to know my horses are comfortable in the heat. My poor Drifter has such a think black mane if I don't braid it he'll sweat like no ones business. Of course I just had to take the rest of his braids out today so he didn't pull a whole bunch out while in the field. :)

Okay, back to your reguarlly scheduled program! LOL
