New Horse Name; bay gelding with eyebrows!

[StormyDay]

It finally happened… I found one! Picking him up in just a few hours!
I’m so excited. He’s a cute 3YO WBx, way taller than someone my height has business riding (17h at 3… and I’m 5’5 on a good day), but such a sweetheart I decided I needed him. He has a big personality and thinks people are just SO wonderful.

I need a good name for him. He’s a tall bay, tiny bit of white on one hind hoof. The most distinguishing feature is that he has white eyebrows above each eye.

I’ll post photos soon, once I get him cleaned up. He looks a little feral right now.

But his current name doesn’t fit him (sergeant) and I’m thinking I need something cute for a barn name. Thoughts? Maybe something to do with those brows?

I can’t think about eyebrows without seeing Eugene Levy!

[BrownDerby]

My first thought was Gene Levy as well. Then comes Groucho Marx.

I was 5’4" (shrunk 2" ) when I had my 17’3 WB.
He was a lover too & we made it work

For your boy, I’ll try to come up with some brow-worthy names
Off the top of my head:
Einstein for a barn or show name
Or show as: E=MC2

Must.
Have.
Pics!

I’ll try to get some of his face when I pick him up today. He’s COATED in mud right now.
I was also thinking maybe Albert, as in Einstein. Haha

Eugene! What an awesome name, I’d pick that one if it fits his personality.

Also I think of Bert, from Bert and Ernie.

Another inappropriate height enabler: I’m 5’2" and ride 17.1H Can’t wait to “meet” him!

[TheJenners]

What about a sale pic? I don’t wanna wait…

My senior Morgan has developed grey eyebrows, not a natural marking, just how he is greying, it’s pretty cute.

[FjordBCRF]

You beat me to Bert! That was my first thought.

[StormyDay]

Ok so I’m not going to post his sale pic because he looks like a gangly butt high giraffe LOL. I was actually shocked when I saw him in person because I was not expecting something so nice! I went to look at 3 mares, and ended up with him instead.

It’s probably why I got him for such a good price.
Here’s some photos taken right before loading… you can see the white eyebrows. I’m assuming it’s from the bridle or maybe the blinkers? Though he’s only 3 he does know how to drive. He got too big which is why he was sold. The guy I bought him from kept saying how much of a shame it was I didn’t drive, because he’s one of the best driving horses he’s worked with. Just got too tall for the Amish.
He’s a papered DutchWB/Friesian cross. As far as I can tell his mom was an actual Dutch WB and not a DHH (not that it really matters much, he’s gelded).

He loaded so well! Such good boy.

[Paint_Party]

I thought of Groucho and Eugene right away, too.

He has a calm look to his beautiful, huge eyes. Congratulations and enjoy your new sweetheart!

[FjordBCRF]

Awwww. I got my fjord at 3 years old and he knew how to drive as well; I started taking lessons and have my own cart now. You can tell that’s his thing! I don’t drive nearly as much as I ride, but it’s great having the option to change things up.

[JBCool]

Hmmm…those eyebrows are interesting. Does he have them over both eyes?

[endlessclimb]

Maybe the bridle/blinkers caused a rub, followed by some sort of skin-scuzz/fungus that created the scar?

Interesting!

It will be funny if you name him something eyebrow related and then in a few shedding seasons the pigment returns.

[StormyDay]

@JBCool @endlessclimb
Yeah they are exactly the same over both eyes. I think it had to have been a rub from something but I have no idea what. I can’t think of anything else that would have caused it, unless I somehow ended up with a horse with the strangest natural facial marking ever.

He trailered so well despite traffic and an almost 7h ride. He then unloaded like a champ (even with never having to back out of a trailer before, and never walking on a ramp before) and then walked around his new home (in the dark) like he’d always been there. For being so big he has excellent ground manners.

[MunchingonHay]

he knows he is in safe hands with you.

Agree that some kind of rub. I have a black mare that got her ear stuck through a hole in a flymask ear overnight once. She still has a white ring around that ear. My vet said that some horses lose pigment really easily and then they’ve seen some horrific injuries and the pigment wasn’t affected at all.

I have a mare that has a white line on her poll from her extremely padded, cushy muzzle. I would not be surprised if she willed the line into existence just to make me feel like a terrible person for trying to make her not founder.
