The baby has a name!!!

Well, it's taken some time and a lot of consideration ... but I've finally decided on a name for our first foal.


I have been asked about the name "Tannahill" which will be a suffix to my Kaimanawas' registered names, so I thought I'd explain. My ancestors (Dad's side) came from Scotland, the Ayreshire area, and from a farm named Tannahill. The most recent ancestor who owned/lived on that property was the very one who came out to New Zealand in the mid 1850's - that's another story!!!


So to keep the theme going I've chosen a Scottish name for the foal. It is a name which means "of the winding valley", which seems appropriate considering she was conceived somewhere up there in the wild and would have been born there if Maggie had evaded the muster. The name is originally a boys name, but she is already exhibiting some strong character and wilfulness, and I want her to have a good strong name to see her through her life.



Hence, I introduce to you "Camdin of Tannahill" - "Cami" will be her paddock name.
