Due to popular demand of the Area II Adult Rider members who have all told me about Afton Mountain (the actual mountain!) in the Blue Ridge Mountains, that will continue to be his official name for showing. Every horse needs a cute, short "barn name" though, and "Afton" is not doing anything for me. So the search begins.
I am looking for a short (two syllables tops) classy (nothing too goofy) name that befits his demeanor and (hopefully) future. It can't be anything that horses in our barn already have or had in the past. I am drawn to British/Scottish/Welsh names (Afton is after all a river in Scotland) and tend toward literary names. The current list of contenders:
Colin
Tristan
Jordan
Owen (means "Well Born" in Welsh)
Spencer
Perry
Gordon
Cormac
Merlin
Griffin
Logan
Scott/Scotty
I am calling him "Mister" in the interim. Maureen has already started calling him Scotty. Duncan likes Colin. I like Owen, Gordon, and Griffin. And Scotty.
Anyone care to comment?

About Me
- Susan Haire MacRae
- I am a person with many varied interests, and not enough time to pursue them all. From Crewel Embroidery (the subject of this blog) to Eventing and training horses to event, I never seem to find time to get it all done. I work full time, ride 5-6 days a week, and stitch whenever I can, while trying to spend time with my husband (good thing we both ride!) and dogs. Fun!!
