Mustang Sally
French is a tough language for English speakers to pronounce correctly. I think you could get away with: Anabelle, Bernadette, Clementine, Dominique, Evangeline, Francie, Georgette, Heloise, Isabelle, Josephine, Lucile, Maxine, Natalie, Odette, Rosette, Simone, or Violette. Add descriptors / modifiers as necessary.
Clementine has an “old-timey” or “old West” feel to it so that might be attractive to some buyers.
Try to look into the place this horse came from. There are several towns with “French” names in “Mustang Country”
A namve like that will tell more of a story than some of the others suggested.
In Oregon several come from the Steens Mountians Start there
If you want french,
Jete
Minuet
Lisette
Chasse
Celeste
La Roue Chanceuse
Limoges
Zizou

Darling clementine?
Some French names as well as little phrases we also use in English:
Aurelie (or Aurelia, which I prefer but isn’t the French version of the name)
Agente Provocatrice (the feminine of “instigator”)
Carte Blanche (having free rein to chose what you want)
Joan d’Arc
Joie de Vivre (exuberance, high spirits)
Margaux
Noblesse Oblige (Noble rank entails responsibility)
Desert Rose,
I like:
Agente Provocatrice
Chantilly Lace
and Carte Blanche
Yes, I’d already thought about Carte Blanche - like it!
Also like Clementine.
Others (and you guys tell me if they would get butchered as far as pronunciation)
Masquerade
Roulette (since I am taking a gamble)
Mardi-Gras
Alouette (really like that one) Do most americans know the song? Would it get pronounced correctly?
Ratatouille (silly but recognizable?)
Those are all good ideas. I think I’d vote for Alouette since yes, it’s more familiar. Speaking as an erstwhile occasional show announcer, Ratatouille I’d have no trouble with but has a high probability for butchering, and ‘is’ harder to roll off the tongue.
I recall shows I announced where there was a horse named ‘Travalger Square.’ They really meant ‘Trafalger Square.’ So they were annoyed when I announced it the way they had spelled it. I had a 50/50 chance, and wrongly assumed they intentionally misspelled for some insider play on words.
Outlaw’s Girl
Gold Rush
Dale Evans
What about Fantine or Cosette from Les Miserables?
I like Celeste, Clementine, Joie de Vivre, Margaux and Lisette
Good luck - looking forward to reading updates of your progress.
Madame
Mademoiselle
Barn name for either could be “Maddy”. Lovely. 
Or Madame Mustang or Mademoiselle Mustang. I WOULD be cool to have her breed in her name so when she knows, no one would guess what she is.
In any case Maddy is a very nice barn name for a nice mare.
I love Alouette. I suggested it on another naming thread couple of years ago.
and when she steps off the truck, she will be a Betty Sue…
:lol:
Adelaide, Emilie, Adelynn, Aubree, Cherie, Desiree, Felicity, Rosamonde, Tempest, Vixen. These names are french origin.
Clair de lune might be good too!
awww… the poster that suggested francine… i love that name for a nice sensible mare…
Ms Stang
whatever the French abbreviation for Miss or Ms would be
I’ll be getting one of these:
