Look! Look! Look!

[Zondrae]

..Now we've eaten Goat and Kangaroo
Caviar and mutton stew.
There's not much seafood left to try
I draw the line at eating eye.

In Hong Kong we saw meat of toad
we don't eat cat in our abode.
I've often wondered about Gnu
and Llamas could be fine in stew

In despairation I'd eat dog
and often times we've eaten hog.
You've guessed my end by now of course.
Perhaps one day I might eat,,,,,,,

Have you ever see those great big horseshoe crab.. gee they are good tucker.

[warooa]

Ahh . . . so that's where the term 'horses for courses' comes from?

And Maureen, Makybe Diva did win 3 consecutive Cups (and a Cox Plate) but wasn't quite young enough to be classed a filly. Her first filly sold for more than a million 'oxford scholars' though.

[Neville Briggs]

Umm how about...Caramel.

[Maureen K Clifford]

Marty in some circles it is considered impolite to discuss a ladies age


I may be just a pony somewhat small p’raps for my age
I MAY be more than four years old – why are fillies the rage?
My heroin Maykbe Diva – she who was so fleet of foot
and won the big Cup three times - taking home all of the loot,
was a mare who some would think and say was really past her prime
but the proof was in the eating and I think her quite sublime.
You may toast us girls with champagne eat caviar, party and rage
but gentlemen – please do not, do not, speak about our age.

[Maureen K Clifford]

Actually Kym I reckon Heathers suggestion is beaut - Taffy. In line with the great poem you wrote - you now have your own little caramel toffee coloured sweet thing.

[manfredvijars]

Loving all the food and drink names ...

Caramel - Horsie on ice cream
Taffy - Horsie on a stick
Pancake - Horsie on a plate
Brandy - Horsie in a glass
Paddle-Pop - Horsie on a stick
HALFA - Horsie in a glass?

Given the common theme here why not just go for "Horsie for main coursie??

[Dave Smith]

Heather

Taffy was a Welshman
Taffy was a thief
Taffy came to my house
And stole a leg of beef
I went to Taffy’s house
And Taffy wasn’t home
Taffy came to my house
And stole a marrowbone.

To hell with Taffy. Besides the wee horsie is a girl.

TTFN

[Maureen K Clifford]

He may well have been a Welshman Dave but was possibly nicknamed Taffy because he had a sweet tooth, and stole sweeties from the grocers shop.

Noun 1. taffy - chewy candy of sugar or syrup boiled until thick and pulled until glossy
candy, confect - a rich sweet made of flavored sugar and often combined with fruit or nuts
molasses taffy - taffy made of molasses

As you point out Mannie - food related.

Geez you lot, look at the trouble you all get up to when I'm not here to supervise. What a great bunch of names too! My daughter has already made the decision, but can't decide between Harmony and Melody (cos my other teeny pony is called Serenade and she wants the names to be "in tune" with each other). Whatever ... doesn't bother me, I could stand at the top of the hill and shout "frog pooooo" and they'd all come at the gallop!

Bob, yep hubbie knows. I confessed and he didn't threaten divorce at all (surprise, surprise). He just shrugged and said, 'at least it's little, if it dies I won't have to dig a big hole'.

Heather, no she' snot preggers. Yet. I might get both the little mares to have a sleep over with a lovely black and white stallion owned by a friend of mine.

"eggs on legs", that's funny. This one is a mini horse, they are finer than mini ponies, which I call "kegs on legs" because of their little barrel bellies.

Warooa, "Jockey"? She's even smaller than them, so how about Jockette, cos she's got the cutest little knickers ...

Zondrae, !!!!! ***smack***

Manfred, you must be hungry. Go get an Angry Angus burger and leave the horses alone.

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. It's been a great read.

Kymbo.

[Heather]

Kymbo would this be the same daughter that abondoned you and left home with the horses and dogs and left you an empty house and paddock? The same daughter that made you have to go and accidentally buy another horse? She doesn't deserve to name the horse - she has her own.

We, on the other hand have stood by you through thick and thin and supported you in your grief at being an empty nester. Tell her to go to... someplace else. We get first dibs on naming the dear little horsie.

So there,

Heather
