Very important question!

[trinityofone]

First, thank you so so much to everyone who wished me congratulations or best wishes on my new job. The first day went pretty well, although I'm mostly too zonked to write about it in detail. Suffice to say, I could do well to open a running tally:

Trin's Exciting Career in Entertainment Journalism!

DAY ONE

+Articles written about actresses and their dogs: 1
+Articles researched about Lisa Edelstein's "secret" past as a Club Kid and James St. James gal pal: 1
+Number of incoming phone calls messily fumbled: 1
+Glamorous celebrity interviews conducted: 0

But now--on to the truly important question!

What should I name Rodney's horse?

I know, I know--me and horses tend to make for a worrisome fic combo, but I'm trying my best to finish my reel_sga fic, and as I'm adapting The Searchers, this issue cannot be avoided. So...any thoughts on the name of Rodney's equine? Or, for that matter, Cadman's?

Hmmm, horse names are hard. I could give you a big list of horses I've ridden in the past, maybe that will help you get a handle on the "typical" horse names.

(Though not the show names, show names are fucking scary. Show names are like "Armful of Tiger Lilies" or "Razzle-My-Tazzle" and I don't think that's the effect you want for your story ;)

There was Newcastle, who was Newie for short, Callie, Jersey (who was colored and shaped like a Jersey cow), Rudy (who had a mohawk and was quite the irritable pony), Pirate (who had one eye), Dozer, Derby, Frisco, Beau, Merrie, Trixie, Trudy and others I can't remember at the moment. I hope that helps.

(PS: I've friended you :D and congrats on the job!)

A horse I once knew in passing was called "Bonanza Extravaganza," and every time it entered the show ring the announcers would be like, "And now, such-and-such-a-rider on BONANZAAAAAAAAAAA EXTRAVAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANZA!" They got such a kick out of it, I decided that was the best show name ever. :)
