BNH Contest -- ending tomorrow

Post by Jeb Clampett »

See my post at end.

Thanks to everyone for the donations!

The Beagle and Clampett Best Named Horse Contest is on for this break.

Only one entry per person. Horse entered must be a foal, yearling or 2 year old THAT YOU CURRENTLY OWN and that has not been entered in any previous BNH Contest.

Reading the entries is a lot of the fun, so feel free to post any number of your brilliant names, but be sure to indicate which one is your actual entry. And, of course, any "supporting material" such as links, lineage, back story, etc. is always welcome.

Also welcome are any comments and postings.

Winners will be selected by polls. Apportionment of prizes will depend on the number of entries -- but...isn't the fame and glory of winning the greatest prize? :wink:

Post your entries here:

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

White On Black-He is a black colt with a huge white blaze (at least i imagine so). His sire Heirloom was black so i decided to have this guy black and i was hoping that he would get a white marking because his momma Whitesong was white. My older brother suggested the name to me once but i wanted to use it on the right horse because every horse my brother names (well at least in other games you know like gallop racer ad G1 Jockey) turns out to be a complete champ. So yea that's my entry :D BTW Just Victory looks just like how i would imagine White On Black

My entry for this contest is a dun yearling filly out of Dun Made Me Zip. I played around with the name a bit before deciding on one that sounded too cute for me not to put it in here. Dun Monkey Tup which is pronounced "dun mu(n)k it up" has a special place in my stable. I can't wait to start racing her Y31. Anyway, that is my entry.

However, here is another I enjoyed naming. Joansie is a black paint filly and named after my 5yo daughter's stuffed animal (it's a dalmatian). She tells a lot of stories about her adventures with Joansie, so I couldn't resist making this black and white filly named after the dog. I thought it was too cute.

Can't resist entering, but I'm in only for the fame and the glory - :lol: ; any winnings will be passed on to the big winner.

I was really tempted to enter one of my sister combo named for me and our beloved Jeblar (beagle):

Better Off Jeb
or
Thequickandthejeb

But couldn't decide between the two so I'm going with:

Whistleinthedark The Shadow Knows x Songstress

I think my favorite is Alaska Bound. But others in the stable that make me chuckle are Ain't Broke, Mr. Squiggy (no idea where the name came from), Then What Happened, and last but not least Flufferball.

A few more refined names are Windinthewillows, Fridaynightlights, Promisenottospeak, Noteworthy and When Angels Fall.

If you can't tell I love naming babies and love this contest so I can see all the other great names out there. Thanks for bringing it back for another year.

oooh only one huh ?

Maybe I should run a poll for which of mine to put in...........
My sweet Alexandra has named nearly all of mine for me and I reckon she has some doozies.

Here are some of them:

Anton Pavlovich (Spock x Soviet Spy) that's Chekov's first names
Blink And Miss It (Visine x Raise the Curtain)
Cut It Off (Sampson x Sea Bass)
Dominique La Rue (Original Gangster X Big Attitude) She was the bad girl gangster in Harlem Nights
Ego Maniacal (Born The Best X Your So Vain)
Eyeballs (Visine X Bouncing Back)
Gagged (Silent Partner out of a Snuggle mare......)
Hellfighter (Flames X Syria)
John Wilkes Booth (Abraham Lincoln)
Mortis (Dark Stare X Kiss of Shadows)
Repeat Fantasy (Dream of Her X Play Itagain)
Sun Drenched Beach (Looking For Light X California or Bust)
Walt Kowalski (Origianl Tough Guy)
White Tiger Lily (Tiger X Snow Flower)

But seeing as she named them, I let her choose the entry.
Her favourite is Ninja Kitty Attack (out of Powerfulsamuraicat)

Hope you like the others though :)
