And we have names for the boys!
C Armr Jove
C Armr Jarilo
What’s our naming tradition?
2017 was the first year for a foal to carry our prefix and I decided to use the first letter of the alphabet and then each year move on to the next letter…so we are on the letter J for 2026. Our prefix stands for armour as we strive to fight for and protect these endangered pony breeds, so I choose names associated to war gods.
Gewels foal is the first c**t from this cross and he has a lot of presence so it is only fitting to name him after Jupiter also known as Jove (the King of the gods in Roman mythology who served as the ultimate protector of the Roman state.) I asked Cece if she liked Jupiter or Jove and she chose Jove!
Lady’s c**t is the first foal for her as well as for the sire, Curtis. So he will be named after Jarilo (Slavic god of spring, war, and fertility).
