Conference noted::equitation

    Pronounced " H (ello D) olly".
    

    any idea as to who the sire and dam are?
    

    Sorry, I've no idea who she was from.  I purchased her from a riding
    stables 1 1/2 years ago, they named her Holly as she was bought at
     Christmas time 6 years ago.  Up until now I had no reason to rename
    her although I have wanted to do so for some time.
    
    Please keep them coming, I like the previous one.
    
    Thanks

    What kind of riding do you use her for?  If you were into
    hunting .. you could call her Holly Hunter :-)

    I just do general hacking and a local jumping shows.  Nothing too
    strenuous.
    
    Thanks

    Tequilla Sunrise is one of the most common horse names around...I
    personally know 4 of them. :-)
    
    If you like it, though, what about editting it a little? 'Tequilla
    Gold' maybe ?

    Here's a couple ideas that happened to be floating by when I read this:
    	Holly D'Oro	(Italian for Golden Holly. D'Oro is pronounced
    			Door-O)
    	Holly De Oro	(Spanish for Golden Holly. De Oro is pronounced
    			Day-Or-O)
    	Crafty Gold Digger	
    	Crafty Gold Hunter
    	Clever Holly

    Hi,

    My favorite name of all time is Serria.  I think a lovely
    palamino named Serria would be beautiful.
    
    	Serria Sunrise - Serria Sunset - Serria Summer Breeze 
    
    	just a thought.

    Sierra is pretty! Or how about Sahara, like in the desert....
    

    
    
    
    
    
    What about Honey Bee?
    
    I think that is another pretty name....

    A couple more ideas:
    
    Holiday Charm (Holly for short)
    Holiday Girl    "     "   "

    Hi,
    
    Thanks for all your contributions, it's been difficult but.... Hello
    Dolly as first choice, Tequilla Gold as second and hopefully I won't
    have to give a third option as I don't think either of the above will
    be listed already.  If I do then it's back to this conference for
    inspiration!!!  The lady registering her is coming out on Saturday so
    it's fingers crossed and hope that she "qualifies" as a true palomino.
    
    I'll let you all know how it goes.

Qualifing as a 'true' palomino for the society is a VERY TOUGH TEST,
please have ready dyes ie, i hope there are no ginger hairs in mane or 
tail! they will really put her through it.

Good luck

Jayne

    Jane, I think you're the first local to reply to me in this note!!! 
    When I booked the inspector to come out this Saturday she said to me
    along the lines of "She's not chestnut is she? (the horse!), I said no
    and she replied it should be okay.  The Palomino guidlines state:
    
    A true palomino should be the colour of a newly minted gold coin with
    dark skin and only white markings on the legs and face.  The eyes must
    be dark with a white mane and tail - there should be no more than 15%
    dark hairs" - that's the bit I'm worried about, she may have just over
    the amount of dark hairs permissible.
    
    I'm getting more and more anxious about this as Saturday draws closer -
    I'm praying for nice weather as the mane and tail have to be freshly
    washed.
    
    I'll keep you posted on if we get there!!

    What happend!!!  ARe you the proud owner of a true Palomino?
    
    Caroline
    

    Oopps, sorry for not updating you.
    
    Yep! I am now the proud owner of "Hello Dolly" although I'll always
    know her as plain old Holly.  The lady inspecting said she was boarder
    line but as she is 13 there is little chance of her changing
    dramatically now.  Ooh it feels good to know she is registered as
    something and not just my dobbin.
    
    On a different subject, I thought I would let you know I am trying to
    trace the history of her.  I know the riding school where she came from
    but they bought her in 1986 at Xmas from a dealer at Reading market
    (UK).  I have placed an ad in a horse magazine this month and had a
    call from a lady in Stratford-Upon-Avon who thinks this is the same
    horse they had at 0-3 whom they ar trying to trace.  Anyway, I have
    phoned the people that this lady sold to and then where she went after
    this and the dates tie up.  I have since sent her more photos and I
    think she's coming to visit this weekend to have a look.  If it is the
    same horse then her dam was a Highland (little stocky wooly thing) and
    her sire a race horse whom in his time came 2nd in the derby.
    
    My little dobbin  is full of surprises.  I'll keep you updated on how
    it goes and if she is the same horse.
    
    See you

    Hi,
    
    I thought the name was v. original and liked the "removing the middle
    part" to leave her name  There's a particular word which descirbes this
     but I can't remember what it is.
    
    Yep,  you'd be more than welcome to see her if you ever come over for a
    visit.
    
    Thanks again
