Have you named your bike?

[betagirl]

I decided to name the new lemond Ferris. Watching the movie again for the 1000th time, and I've gone by the quote in my signature line in life for several years. Might as well dedicate the new love of my life to my favorite movie character

Gosh hun - I don't know any blue horses, most of the horses I know are really happy!

HA! Too funny, Corsair! A blue horse....heehee

Yea, I do believe you're right..... but then again, dapples turn white as they age. Even so, it may be a stretch...... ok, nix Merrylegs, then.

Going with Spazzdog's idea about the Lippizaner, though, I looked up a couple websites, and lo and behold, I might have found a name! What do you gals think of "Contessa"? It even starts with a "C"... (Flicka...Fuji ;Contessa....Cannondale). I'll have to see if I can find a pic of the mare.

Now.... I have to get to work on Nuthatch's blue lovely.....hmmmmm

Great name, Betagirl! I love that movie, too!

Ok, Nuthatch....

Here's a gorgeous blue roan Tennessee Walker stallion...named Pusher's Little Boy Blue.... Howzabout "Pusher" for short?

More names forthcoming, as I find them.....

What gorgeous horses! Nothing "little" about that blue boy!

Can you tell I'm having fun, here? This is becoming addicting... It seems apparent that horses and bikes are two subjects that may qualify for some self-help groups out there.

Here's a blue roan filly...a lighter blue than the previous stallion...

and Tennesse Walkers are an awesome horse to ride. When they hit their "walking" stride it truly is like being in a rocking chair. Yup, been there done that and would jump at the chance to ride another Walker. They say you can carry a glass of water on the palm of your hand and not spill a drop when a Walker is "walking". Just a thought!

They're beautiful to watch, that's for sure, although I've never had the pleasure of riding one. Paso Fino's are also known for the "no-spill" test, but they are very small...my toes would be dragging the ground!!

maybe they're a WSD horse?

[spazzdog]

it's why i refer to my bike(s) as ponies.

And now that I ride a zebra it seems doubly appropriate.
