So this whole thing is really not an issue for me. Adagio has a four-syllable name, so I don’t
know why Contender’s needs to be shorter.
Someone suggested “Teddy,” and I think I laughed and made a face when I
heard that. “We’re badass eventers, you
are not calling this pony ‘Teddy’!” (Teddy O’Connor notwithstanding, of course.) Contender is cute and cuddly enough on his
own without needing a fluffy name like Teddy!
So far, the votes are:
- Both trainers: Teddy
- Mary: Tender (I’m not sure if she was serious, she kept saying something about chicken tenders…)
- Nick: Condy/Condoleeza Pony
- Basically everyone at my barn: “Little Man”
Thoughts?
