I Bought The Filly -- Pics Added 1st Post

[LockeMeadows]

My new baby was delivered today. She is by Silvio out of a Chenin Blanc mare. Boy, she's even nicer than I remember! Of course, she's not halter broke, has never had her hooves trimmed, and I don't think she's even been de-wormed. That is pretty easy stuff to fix when you are in loff!

This evening, she came right up to me and wanted kissing and scratches. In the stall, she was very brave and stood like a champ for her first de-worming (small dose of course, we don't want to colic). I'm sure she'll perk up in a few weeks once she is on grain and good grass, but we're going slowly. Silvio tends to through THE BEST BRAINS. I can't get over how this filly stops and thinks before reacting. Priceless!!

Now all she needs is a name. I would like to stay with an Si if at all possible. My last two Silvio babies were Silvation and Sinsational. This one is a keeper, so she needs a great name.

Pictures to come tomorrow.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that we are back in the country; pictures!

Vegas had her hooves trimmed for the first time yesterday and was a star. She is the sweetest thing and follows everyone around if you happen to be in the pasture. I just can't believe she is mine!

Congratulations! It sounds like you are an expert at finding the diamonds in the rough. BTW, Silvation is growing up to be a STUNNING boy!

DH wants to call her Sin City (barn name Vegas) since I went behind his back to get her. :uhoh: This is the first name he's come up with and actually, it's not too bad.

[Aleanne1980]

I like Sin City! Here are some other suggestions:

Since When? (barn name Wendy?)

Sinderella

As they say... easier to ask for forgiveness than permission!

I like Silvia, although that's probably been done with a Silvio filly already, and Sinderella, barn name Sindy.

[Fenway]

Hmmmm....
Sinsibility
Sintimental

If I were the OP, I'd do some wine searching to see if there is either a white wine grape or wine itself from Italy or Spain that begins with Si. That way you'd tie both sirelines together.

That's a good idea. If you want to do a wine, and you don't mind odd spellings, you could do Sinfandel...
The only other one I can think of is Petite Sirah. Maybe a wine expert could chime in?

[RacetrackReject]

Simply Sinful?

[krfarms]

Easy, If you look at your first post--She's Priceless or S'priceless!! call her Lass

[buschkn]

Sin City was the first name that came to my mind when I saw you wanted Si and had one named Sinsational. Vegas is cute! :) PICS please!

Thank you for all the wonderful names...wow!! I shot a video of her this morning, but my internet is down at home, so I can't up-load any pictures. It was hard trying to get the video because she followed me everywhere and then wanted hugs and kisses. I can honestly say she is the SWEETEST horse I've ever owned...and I've owned 100's of horses over the years.

As soon as I return home, I'll post some pics and then video. I'm out of town for the next eight days for some much needed R & R. Hopefully, we will have settled on a name by then. :winkgrin:

There is one by that name showing currently. It's owned by Hucklebug/Rachel Howell.

Major grape varietals from Spain (white):
Viura (Vee-ooh-rah)
Malvasia (Mahl-vah-see-yah)
Xarello (Chah-rayl-lo)
Parellada (Par-eh-yah-dah)

It's terribly convenient that "si" means "yes" in Spanish, so you could easily add Si before any of those names. Personally, I like Siviura.

[Ladybug Hill]

Do you mean Chenin Blanc?

Pictures????

[InstigatorKate]

Shardonnay
Sharlotte (aka Sharlotte the Harlot ;))

Ummm, we were promised pics, right?

[Fenway]

Pictures????

I believe she does. She posted about this filly and her bloodlines in an earlier thread. :)

Yes, pictures, please!!

I post under my initials now, but yup, Sin City is my boy and I am in Virginia. There's another one that also has an established show record but it's out in California. I don't think there's anything wrong with reusing a name, particularly if it's going to be in a different discipline/division/level/geographic area.


I do, however, really like some of the names mentioned. Silvia is adorable. I love the one word names. My other current show horse is named "Sentimental" and we call her "Stella"....had I thought of Silvia I might have called her that--great name!

I've really wanted to name a horse "Stiletto" but Cara Flynn used it a while back--but I don't think that horse is still showing under that name. That's a nice sultry name for a pretty mare. Ooh, Sultry is nice too. So my pics are:

Silvia
Stiletto
Sultry

Pictures added to the first post. :D

What about Syrah? Schiras, Sirac, Syra, Syrac, Serine, and Sereine are all used as synonyms for the syrah wine depending on origin you are in..wiki does a better job explaining

or How about Sicilia? I like that one, I also love the name Simone...I know its already been suggested but it is a lovely name.

She's beautiful and its wonderful that you are both enamored w eachother! enjoy!

[Flyingbuck]

Congrats - she's lovely!

What about Sintillating (scintillating)? :D - animated, vivacious, effervescent
