Help me name my Connemara Sport Horse baby (in-utero)

As I wait for my in-utero foal to be born this spring, I was hoping you kind people can help me come up with a registered name and corresponding stable name for him/her.

I like the idea of “HC Fear No Judgement” or “HC Judge Machno”, but looking for additional ideas. HC is the breeder’s nomenclature, so I plan to keep that in front of the chosen registered name. Pedigrees of the Dam & Sire are included below. Thanks everyone!

Notable information on the foal:

  • 50/50 chance of bay or buckskin
  • 1/4 welsh x 1/4 connemara x 1/2 KWPN
  • Will be registered as a Connemara Sport Horse
  • Will be my amateur eventer, but will dabble in pure dressage & SJ

Pedigree

Sire - “OMS Machno Fear Dun” - Welsh/Connemara Stallion - Registered Connemara Part Bred and GRP

Grandsire - “Machno Carwyn” - Welsh Sport Pony

Dam - "DD"

DamSire - “Judgement ISF” - KWPN

Full Brother born 2023 - “HC Dun Judging”

Grandsire - “Machno Carwyn” - Welsh Sport Pony

DamSire - “Judgement ISF” - KWPN

That’s exciting! I considered acquiring DJ -it didn’t work out. The breedings between Machno and DD are interesting though.

Maybe something like HC Mach Trial, Mach Jury, Machtail

Hmmm…I’m not coming up with a lot on this one. Will keep thinking!

I almost bought DJ too but the timing wasn’t right. Glad to know you’re familiar with this breeding though! It’s a bit of a gamble since they are two very different types, but I think it’ll be a fun cross. Thanks for the ideas!

At least there are a couple on the ground already! They’re still young, but you have some evidence that they will wind up horse-shaped :slight_smile:

I scooped up a Cooper baby.

Congratulations. There is some excellent performance blood in both the Welsh and the Irish side. Don’t know about the Dutch but there is a lot of TB in there, never a bad thing in performance ponies. Scratch a sport pony and find Welsh.

Machno is both a river (Afon Machno) and a valley in Snowdonia (Eryri) North Wales popular with walkers, riders and cyclists. That might open up some geographical ideas.
