[OreoCookie]

I've finally decided to start a blog about my horse. As I've started showing him, I've discovered that lots of people are curious about him because of his swayback. See picture.


Normally, catchy names just sorta come to me, but I'm completely stumped on this one. His barn name is Oreo, my trainer calls him OreoCookie, hence my name on here. His registered name is Kinsale's Concerto, which is just kinda awkward. I am focusing on Dressage with him, but we do cross train and other fun things like ride in the local parade. There's not much special about me - I'm your average lower level rider, a wife, a mother, and an artist. But my horse, well, he's fantastic and has already surpassed everyone's expectations.

I'm afraid going cute and not putting a horse word in it will confuse people and I worry that putting Dressage in it will be off putting to people in other disciplines. I also can't decide whether to use his name. Then there's the whole tagline thing.

So far, I've come up with:
Oreo Does Dressage
Cookies Do Dressage
All Three Gaits
From Crooked to Straight
Forward, Straight, and Calm
No More Steady (it's a running joke that EVERY judge says we're steady and my trainer wants us to jazz it up a bit)
Your Average Oreo
My Unlikely Dream Horse
Baby Don't Got Back
Oreo's Can't Jump

My husband's contribution: Cookies and Milk

Some of these are funny to me, but maybe not to everyone else. Thoughts? Ideas? Much appreciated!

I vote for bits suggestion Swayback when. I also have a swayback. He's been a great horse!

^ I think A Sway with Words is fantastic, bits! I also like Cookies and Milk for that downhome, let's-have-a-cozy-chat feel.

I like A Sway with Words.

Hmmmm, I kinda like A Sway with Words too....

I had initially thought to use swayback in the title somehow, but had decided against it since he is so much more than that. But that's pretty catchy...

Ahhhh, this is hard!

How about something with "bow", since his name is Concerto?

These are great, thank you! Very creative.

Now it's a matter of deciding, I think. That's really the hard part.

I agree, don't focus on the sway-back aspect. Bad vibes, mojo, or something...stay positive and unique. Oreo is a cute name for a dressage horse; a sweet black and white treat for the senses.

How about The Sway-back Machine... or am I the only one old enough to remember "The Way-Back" machine from Rocky & Bullwinkle?

Lol.

Thanks again guys, these are all so creative!

Won't acknowledging the sway challenge some stereotypical ideas about swaybacked horses? I think it is a great thing to have as a part of the blog though not the only focus. Looking forward to reading!
