R name for a hunter stallion

[Brutust]

...he's by Rascalino. He a big fancy boy, black w/lots of chrome. I want something hard to forget.

Ok, then how about (Mstislav) Rostropovich, one of the world's greatest contemporary cellists, who is a former music director at the National Symphonic Orchestra in Washington, D.C. or, (Sergei) Rachmaninoff, a great composer, pianist and conductor from Russia?

Hmmm... Hard to forget....

Route 66

Can't get much more American than that. And noone will forget it!
Nice and simple too which I like personally for a memorable name.

and for those of you unfamiliar with american history... let me offer a bit of help.

U.S. Route 66 (also known as the Will Rogers Highway after the humorist, and colloquially known as the "Main Street of America" or the "Mother Road") was a highway in the U.S. Highway System. One of the original U.S. highways, Route 66, US Highway 66, was established on November 11, 1926. However, road signs did not go up until the following year.[1] The famous highway originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, before ending at Los Angeles, encompassing a total of 2,448 miles (3,940 km)[2]. It was recognized in popular culture by both a hit song and a television show in the 50s and 60s.

Route 66 underwent many improvements and realignments over its lifetime, changing its path and overall length. Many of the realignments gave travelers faster or safer routes, or detoured around city congestion. One realignment moved the western endpoint further west from downtown Los Angeles to Santa Monica.

Route 66 was a major path of the migrants who went west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, and supported the economies of the communities through which the road passed. People doing business along the route became prosperous due to the growing popularity of the highway, and those same people later fought to keep the highway alive even with the growing threat of being bypassed by the new Interstate Highway System.

US 66 was officially removed from the United States Highway System on June 27, 1985[3] after it was decided the route was no longer relevant and had been replaced by the Interstate Highway System. Portions of the road that passed through Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, and Arizona have been designated a National Scenic Byway of the name "Historic Route 66". It has begun to return to maps in this form. Some portions of the road in southern California have been redesignated "State Route 66", and others bear "Historic Route 66" signs and relevant historic information.

Remember Me - lots of those - many famous. Great name!!

For the sake of tracking - what is the stallion's name now? Could be that is the most unique name to get - there is a Route 66 Routinier showing and most of the other offered names are linked to others.

Me, I like Roustabout

More, I like that "tied in" name to the breeder -

If the Routinier showing is not a stallion, would it matter? I think it merits consideration if Jill liked it.

For something completely Canadian...

R Eh?

Funny you should mention that. That is the name that's at the top of my list. Great names everyone.

I think of data and tracking!


Route 66 has been heavily promoted as a name elsewhere

I care that with all the name changing that goes on here in the US, since we have no universal tracking system at all, we have no chance - as breeders of our (for me) beloved "hunters" - to know what the heck is a good nick, etc for offspring. Perhaps the name is meaningless for hunter breeders - these horse are coming from Europe where there are no "hunter" breeders!

Whatever - I changed all my hunter's names - not that the original names meant a darn thing - but it is what we do! I just yearn for the day that a "hunter" line means as much and carries as much weight as a dressage and jumper line does. Then the names that are carried over mean something!

So go with Rte sixty six, or Rte 66 - been picked all ready I suspect.


I am off to Virginia for a week, no computer, no tv - Merry Christmas!!!! Happy Holidays everyone!!!!!
