CLOSED: NEW Contest to win seeds and plants- NAME THE FOLD CONTEST!
Hello Everybody!
Here is a picture of the little guy I need help naming. He foaled on May 22, 2010. He is solid black with a little bit of white on his chin.
He's VERY spunky and rambunctious. He's a smart little guy.. already has a halter on and I have lead him around his pasture several times now.
If I choose the name you have suggested, you will win the seeds and plants listed above.
Thank you and Good Luck!
He's so adorable. A halter already, wow!
I guess "Lucy's Midnight Snack" is outta the question??? ;)
Well, I did think of Midnight.
:-0 Cue!
That's a good one , Angela!

I had a cat named Licorice who was all black with a white spot on his neck. he was smart and full of mischief also. His favorite toy was metal sewing bobbins, he liked to take them into the bat tub and roll them back and forth in the middle of the night. He figured out how to open my sewing cabinet drawer to remove them. I also had to close him in a bedroom and hear him trying, sometimes successfully, to open the doorknob whenever I cleaned raw shrimp. He was usually, just cuddly and good company. He was really special, I miss him.
How about Carbonado? It is a black diamond.
Beautiful I grew up with horses and I miss them so much!
The names of the horses we had where
Tea for the Tillerman

ok.. how about 'Kahlua'?
Interesting Suggestions ;-) Keep 'em coming!
Whenever I see all black horses I always think of Ichabod's horses name in sleepy hollow -- Gunpowder.
:)
I like Ebony. Annette
Mechelle, what are the parents names? That might help picking names also.
Black Velvet
I like that one, pacman!
Well, the parents I haven't really officially named yet. These were rescue horses and at first I wasn't sure if we were going to keep them for long. The mare was already in foal. Kind of like a stray animal, if you name it, you end up having to keep it. They were owned by the sweetest little old man named Joe who has become like a Grandpa to me and he couldn't take care of them anymore. He's 82, his wife of 63 years just passed away and horses are just too much work. They were starting to look bad and he asked if we would buy them and I kept saying No, I can't- I already had 5 of my own horses as I feared my DH would be really mad if I did. Well, My Dh suggested we get them because he liked the stallion. Go figure, so we did! They're still right by Joe's house where he can see them and occasionally he buys sweet feed and goes out and talks to them. Sweet, huh?
I had unofficially named the mare Cheyanne, after a neighbors dog . The mare has one blue eye and one brown eye and is a dark brown color. The dog also had one blue and one brown eye and was the same color as her. Well, the neighbor had to have her dog put down so I had to "un-name" the mare. We were always taught that it's bad luck to name an animal after one that you had before or that passed away. So.. The sire (male parent) I had thought of calling him Apache, but Indian names are more for paint horses, as DH pointed out. He is what you call a grey. A grey has white hair but grey skin underneath. A grey is born with a color and over time, the hair changes to white. Usually by the time they are 10. So, there is a good chance that the little colt may eventually be a grey.
Thanks everyone!
Hope that helps!
":Oreo"
Hey Michelle, What about Ebonys Tide.
Edited to say:
Look at the Header on this. LOL Mekos I am not making fun of you but it just struck me funny. I thought I was going to fall out of my chair laughing.

I would name the mare with two different colored eyes "Bowie" or "Ziggy" or "Stardust" after David Bowie who also has two different colored eyes.
Your colt's descriptions sounds like Black Beauty from the children's book.
If he may turn grey, you might want to name it something like Superstition, Smokey.
If he is a bit of a troublemaker, you may want to name him Houdini, Sweet Revenge, Black Knight.
I like Oreo, Cue that's cute
'dark temptation'. 'chocolate bits'.
I like those cz. What about Chocolate Bliss?
'Mocha'
Mechelle, maybe you already named him with your description. Why not Spunky?
lol.. name him 'Spot'
This will be a tough one! He is adorable! And a lot of good names so far, so I'll have to put my thinking cap on for this one!
Edited to add a couple of name choices.
Blackhawk,
Domino (obviously an ace, since he only has one spot, tee hee)
Stymie (after the little black kid in the Little Rascals)
VooDoo,
Licorice
Shades of Grey
Smoke Rings
Smoke Signal
Silver Bullet
Gunsmoke
Steely Gaze
Night Rider
Black Powder
Eight Ball
Prince of Darkness
Oh my! The possibilities are endless. Or you could name him after the older guy from next door that you got him from!

OK with the jokes up there..... I started this thread 3-4 times and everytime I hit send, it went to cyber space and I was really frustrated and tired so I got going fast trying to get er done! That was a slip of the tongue. My mind was hurting. I tried to correct it but you can't correct the header. Thank you for NOT laughing at me.
It's OK friend - if it really bothers you Admin can correct the thread title. Personally, I think it's cute and will get people to open the thread don't you think?
Garden.. your name suggestion for the mare is cute. My best friend would love that because she is a huge Bowie fan!
So far there is one suggestion that I like a lot and one suggestion that part of the name gave me an idea of another name I really like.
My other horses are registered so they have the long names. Lil' Doc Hollywood (aka Hollywood), Good N Fancy (aka Fancy) , Fancy Lil' Hollywood(aka Holly) Hollywood's Fancy Scarlett (aka Scarlett) Betty Lou's on Fire (aka Betty Lou) .. So since these 3 aren't registered, that makes it easier. We can just come up with one name that works for him. A name I liked that would have fit him perfect was "Pepper".
That won't work though cause again, someone's dog I knew was killed by a pitbull named Pepper, so yeah, scratch that one.
Keep the names coming !
