Hello everyone,
Been thinking about the poster and stud names on here.
There must be a reason or even story behind some of the choices.
Will you share them with us.
Regards Pat

hi pat,
we are called sunean arabians, su from my name suzanne, ne from hubby nev and an from our neighbour who used to part own our pba's. it amazes me how much trouble people have saying it lol sun as in the sun, and ean as in bean, some try to say sunny ann, very funny
our foal names are usually chosen with a theam and a blood line ref, so all odins foal's usually have something to do with norse gods, silver phoenix's have the silver and then the boys have been given the rolls royce names ie silver ghost and silver spirit. we don't always stick to this but it works for us

Oh Pat, you really ARE nosey aren't you!!!Tee Hee:))
Chi Lin is mandarin chinese for unicorn. i chose it as a prefix because of all the mystical qualities associated with the unicorn in chinese mythology...somehow they seemed to describe arabs perfectly!! With the foals, the colts carry the innitial of their sires and the fillies that of their dams...simple!

Mine is for two reasons,
Perversely Acorns and horses dont mix, knowing me as you do Pat, this will make sense!!
and also for advertising purposes its first in line.
All things I do are Acorn something or other.
Welsh pony stud prefix is Acornhill,
My Whippets are Acornlodge ,
Detective agency is Acorn Investigation Services,
horse supplies business is Acorn Livery Supplies, supplying most things for the horse and rider,

The Pat ww is from my surname, and I have ford memories of driving miles and miles in a Reliant Robin Trotter style which had a semi personalised registration plate, PWW 33K , K from the end of my surname.
The stud name was chosen as my son was to go to France for a year as part of his university course, and mistrale is a wind I believe in s. France. As Arabs are 'drinkers of the wind' it seemed appropriate, and we looked up the stud books to see if we were duplicating, which we were not at the time.
Since then Pam cooper's stud is also Mistral, but as she did not advertise then we had no way of knowing who was first. Pams is The Mistral Stud, mine is Mistral Arabian Stud.
One day I'll have the web site up and running, but can't really badger my son in law just now. |

My house is "Furlong House" so Furlong House Arabians. My stallion is by Crusader out of a straight Spanish mare, hence Spanish Crusader. Where there is no obvious "name" I try to use an Arabic name, eg Egyptian Khaleef for the Orashaan colt, Ameera Assada for the filly by Assad (femnine usually has an "A" on the end in Arabic) and Ameera is "princess" in Arabic and her dam is Crown Princess.

Legacy Stud as my mother Pat Grant bought her first arab Zarah Khan, with a legacy that was left to her by aunty betty. Funnily enough other Legacys since have paid for things like stud fees etc, so it was definately aptly named.

| How would you know if you were duplicating a stud name if the other stud didn't list on here or advertise in magazines? |

I don't know about duplicating names, I used the AHS stud directories that went back a couple of years, as I thought that ALL studs were listed in them. I did not realise that it was voluntary to put your stud in at a small cost.
I had also checked out the recent adverts in the AHS magazines. When I first put us into the Stud Directory I still did not know someone else used the same name. As far as I know, the AHS did not keep a register of names for excusive use, only stud initials, hence Halsdon use HS and High Tor use HT so that people will associate stock as bred by that stud.
The kennel club allows you to register an affix to personalise your puppies bred by you, and show ponies etc always have ridiculously long names that incorporate the stud. I prefer that Arab breeders on the whole do not go down the Prefix route when naming foals, but it would be nice to know your stud name is exclusive! |

| They won't let you register if someone else has got it,but the way around it is to spell it slightly differently.we started off with Mafida,who 's children all began with M as well,and all the names are rivers towns and city's in Saudi and surrounding area.After that its combination of their parents name i.e,Birat is Tarib backwards, Ta'an by Ma'an out of Taretta! its really good fun thinking their names up! |

Hi Pat,
it's just easier for the lazier amongst us, like me, to have a registered prefix...that way i know that i can use any name i wish to and don't have to work hard finding alternatives!!!

I just like the name IIsis. I just put two I's on it so everyone would know it's me as a lot of people use the name as it's a popular egyptian queen.
I also went on a Nile cruise once and it was the best holiday ever, the boat was the Queen Isis. I dunno, just wanted something that sounded nice, was short and sweet and would go well with another name after it.

We took "Bluebell Arabians" on when we bought the farm. I can remember working out a logo and showing Erik pictures of Bluebell flowers and him looking completely blank. Little did I know that the name came from a dance group in Paris? I imagine high stepping, mane floating damsels that showed their draws. Certainly nothing to do with the lovely woods I had ridden through as a child!

I used to use my childrens names but now they grown up and flown the nest, I changed it to the name of the place where we live (Cutgate Arabs). I name our foals with EL in front as they are the first two letters of our foundation mare.

Watch it going on about registered affixs' bloomin AHS will find another money spinner.I have just had a bill proforma (good of them ) to take blood and hair from horses that have already been bloodtyped and dna tested in their home country cost to me £1.000. How greedy is that?
Not everyone gets INVITED TO SUBMIT THEIR PERSONaL DETAILS OR STUD NAME more to the point.Ill say no more.(can feel moderators getting uncomfortable already)

Helen,
Are these horses coming from ECAHO countries?!If so, isnt the whole point of ECAHO that we share information?? A £1000 is a horrific ammount of money to spend on simply substantiating known information if the source is credible. |

I signed on as JASJMM - which was my user name on Yahoo -stands for all the animals in my family - Jasper white boxer, Jill and Marcus cats, Misty and now Madaba horses. Misty I was stuck with when I got her (Mystic Madam - little too much like Mystic Meg for my liking...!) Madaba was named by Pat, Joanna and Emma, and I understand it is the place in Jordan where his dam is now, at the Jordanian Royal Stud. Jill was named after a friend (who was very flattered!); Marcus was called that because he is very upper class and good looking and looks like he is wearing a DJ with his markings.
I am thinking of calling any stud I might start after my landlords farm, as he doesn't like Arabs, just to annoy him!!
I understand also, that Madaba's sire, Crusader, has been renamed by the Amir of Sharjah, his now owner. Thinking about it, Crusader is not the best of names for a horse that has gone to the Middle East!!!
Cheers,
Mary |

my name on here is Razgold. Taken from my favourite mare Razina Gold. Pictured below. My stud's name Lyndale came from my ex. He used to work at a farm called Lyndale and called our smallholding that. The name seem to stick. I have thought about changing it but my boyfriend says it has a ring to it. So it looks like it will stay.
Only thing is there is a stallion in Texas called Lindale and people are asking me if I bred him. Well I didn't.
Sue.

Our name came from a twist of words. People would hear we had bought a new horse and would say "more arabs".! It also happens that our yard is and hasten to add was called before we moved there "cabbage moor", so.... MOOR ARABIANS.
Why was our yard called cabbage moor, haven't got a clue and there is no history of it ever growing cabbages,  although it can be said it is near DartMOOR!
Our prefix is also MO as it is mine and my partners surname, Mckenzie-Owen and is, you got it, MOor!
Still, as the expression goes, "it takes all sorts"

Hi Suyen,
These horses are coming from southern Germany, they (AHS) tell me in their letter that its to make comparisions, this is also what it says on the test kits they sent too.The exporter had them all parentage tested and dna tested especially for me.Dont know who to speak with concerning this.
Im disgusted.I too thoguht this is what ECAHO stood for.Who do I contact about this?

Hi Helen,
I can sympathise having been stung by this one myself. Unfortunately the AHS is only applying the rules as they currently stand The 2nd tests being to prove that the horses that arrive are the same ones as those who left. If that makes sense? The fees however are way too high, it seems to me that the thinking is "if you are importing horses then you can afford to pay through the nose for registrations etc"
