I think since this board is clean it's the best place for the "Keepsakes and whatever" stuff we spoke about last week. The poor, tired horses will be added below and when I find Kathy I can ask her to post the Keepsake List again. And then, we're off!!;-.)

Posted by Stacey. on August 14, 1997 at 00:27:39: ] Okay ladies, the horse naming contest will now begin and I desperately need your help in naming all of the horses used by the carriages under my keepership. Here are the details about the different carriages and the different horses. ] 1. Merryton Assembly - A barouche with two rows of seats facing each other. It can be partially open in good weather and the driver sits on the "box" in front. There were four black horses used for this scene. ] 2. Ramsgate - A phaeton, a four-wheeled carriage completely open. One black horse was used for this scene. ] 3. From Pemberley to London - A Coach, a large, enclosed four-wheeled carriage, drawn by four or more horses. The driver sits on the "coach box" at the front. It was used by wealthy families and in long-distance travel. It was drawn by four brown horses for this scene. ] 4. From Netherfield to London - A barouche, different from the Merryton Assembly barouche. It was pulled by two black horses. ] 5. Wedding - A barouche, different from the above two. This carriage was drawn by four white horses. ] There are a total of 15 horses to name. The teams should have themes that the names come from or that they are related to. Examples - George and Georgiana, Salt and Pepper, etc..... ] I will take suggestions until Aug. 13th. I would be very appreciative of any suggestions if anyone has any! Thanks! ] Stacey _____________________ Posted by Stacey on August 14, 1997 at 00:33:45: I'm going to extend the deadline on the horse naming contest until August 24 because I'm moving on Friday and it will take me awhile to get my connection set up again. Hopefully there will be more suggestions and competition for Renate who started off the contest with wonderful ideas!!! How about Megan? Any ideas? _________________________ Posted by Nan on August 11, 1997 at 12:30:58: Stacey, Stacey, Stacey...I had to think so hard!;-.D Hope you get a chuckle... ] 1. Merryton Assembly - four black horses. This being the Meryton Assembly (the only time we see him in THAT HAT) I have to submit my first impulse. Beware, this is only a joke: Incroyable, Bicorne, Chapeau Bras and...Fred!!;-.D Okay, joke's over. My real suggestions--Theme: The Renaissance (as in the beginning of Darcy's "rebirth"): Dante, Michelangelo, Medici, and Leonardo ] 2. Ramsgate - One black horse. There is only one name that fits: Serendipity (One of my favorite words btw):-.) ] 3. From Pemberley to London - four brown horses. The Theme: Heroes If I remember my high school mythology right they would be: Perseus, Hercules, Atalanta, and Theseus ] 4. From Netherfield to London - two black horses. I cannot do better than Renate's Utterly and Completely Perfect!:-.) ] 5. Wedding - four white horses. The theme is clear--Poets (Particularly those guilty of writing love poems): Shakespeare, Pope, Burns, and Byron Okeedokee--that does it for me.:-.) ] _________________________ Posted by Renate on August 09, 1997 at 19:26:48: Here are my names for the Name-His-Horses-Contest: ] 1. Merryton Assembly - There were four black horses used for this scene. Passion, Desire, Admiration, and Regard ] 2. Ramsgate - A phaeton, a four-wheeled carriage completely open. One black horse was used for this scene. Golden Retriever or Just in Time or Untamed Beauty Of The Peaks? ] 3. From Pemberley to London - A Coach, .... It was drawn by four brown horses for this scene. As far as I remember they have already been named by the Swedish team: Shocked, Grieved, Nono, and ... ? I don't remember the fourth one, but what about Chestnut Season ] 4. From Netherfield to London - A barouche .... pulled by two black horses. It's very clear: they must be named Utterly, and Completely ] 5. Wedding - A barouche.... drawn by four white horses. Good Gracious! Dear Me! So Happy! Make Haste! Basta cosi! Das wars! That's it! ___________________ Posted by Stacey on August 10, 1997 at 01:07:51: In reply to Re: Horse Naming Contest posted by Renate on August 09, 1997 at 19:26:48 ] ] 3.

Thanks! __________________ Posted by Megan on August 10, 1997 at 16:09:03: ] ] What Swedish team? ] Ann2, all by her dear self, constitutes the Swedish team/jury Stacey. She was the one who came up with these names perviously, during the other competition. (If I remember correctly) ] ] ] Shocked, Grieved, Nono, and ... ?

Too many horses to name and too little attendance at the moment. Some others may wish contribute as well. ] Megan ] --------------------- ] To Renate: ] Ahem, Reny, this is not because I would not like you to win without any competition at all but for some other reasons as well O;-.) ] Dammit! This didn't sound sincere. I wish I could think of some other reason to add, to make it look more legitimate __________________ Posted by Renate on August 10, 1997 at 19:55:39: Dear Meggels, IF you have to use a nickname on me (something I am not particularly fond of), then please use the full name: Reny Martin.
