Ever wanted to name a horse? Here's your chance! So I think I've mentioned that my grandparents have horses, right? Well, on the day of New Year's Eve, one of their mares had her foal! Spent the weekend at their place and got to see him up-close & in person! He's all black (though he might turn Dapple grey as he gets older) and fuzzy with spindly legs and big brown eyes. There's nothing quite like having an animal like that fall asleep all curled up in a little ball 2-3 feet away. And HE IS SOFT. Like, softer than a fleece blanket soft. He doesn't have a name yet, so suggestions are welcome, though something that isn't as cliche as star, midnight, or blackie would be wonderful. Personally, I like the name Comanche, the name of a warhorse who was the sole survivor of the Battle of Little Big Horn- General Custer's last stand, despite being shot seven times. The colt is a spirited and adventurous little fellow, Thoughts?

You should name him Jack, Blaze, Stormy, Coco, Midnight, Prince, or Smokey!

He sounds so fuzzy and adorable!! I recommend to name him Ursau Major, named off of the constellation!!

That’s awesome!! Baby animals are so cute! I always come up with the weirdest names tho, i can relate to Penguinpop XD. I was thinking Drake, it means dragon in Middle English.
wof wof

im bad at naming but maybe onyx? here are all the names i could think of (but there probably bad): Nightwing (i did get that one from a book series called wings of fire), asphalt (the thing they make roads out of, and it is black), Hematite (its a kind of mineral), obsidian, syrup (dont even ask, it was just the first thing that came to my head), also if he's so soft, then why not name him fleece (bad idea, i know). These are all the names (and like i said, they are kind of bad). Also, when you figure out what to name him, tell us what you chose.
pippin_5 pippin_5

Awww! He sound so beautiful and sweet! I would name him Ursa Major, after the constellation since he’s a black color!
