He's not home yet, but my 12 yr old daughter fell head over heals with this mustang (and he, her) that was rescued from a feedlot. Max (temperary name we don't care for) will soon be my daughter's very own mustang. She's is looking for ideas for a name for him...any suggestions?

I was going to post some pix, but photobucket seems to be down at the moment.
He is black as night, with a diamond (or upside down teardrop..as my daughter says,lol)
15 - 15 1/2 hands, solid built with head and feet that suggest some draft mix in his background. I'll need to locate a 5 1/2 inch mouth snaffle. He has a small white spot on his side and 2 white hind pasterns. His freezebrand tells us he was captured out of Wyoming, and is 8 years old.
I can't imagine anyone sending this big gentle giant to slaughter...where he would've been going had Ahimsa Horse rescue not stepped in and rescued him! I'll post pix as soon as photobucket gets their act together.
Thanks for any name suggestions!

Here he is...

Congratulations. What a handsome boy. Your daughter must be very proud to have such a special boy. Picking names is the hardest! I know in time the perfect name will come to her. Enjoy!

What a beautiful horse!! Perhaps the name Teardrop as in tears of happiness that this horse was rescued.

Thanks sparrowhawk. We have been considering a few Lakota names, since she is 1/2 Lakota, but we thought it would be fun to get ideas from all our friends as well Then maybe translate it to Lakota.

Palama ya ye, mitakola. (Thankyou my friend)
