I'd known her since she was just a couple of weeks old, when she'd been given the name Pandora because of her curious, mischievous personality. During the time I was trying to decide whether or not to adopt her, I was at church one day, and the name of St. Bridget came up. And it just came into my head that if I adopted the filly, I would re-name her Bridget, and immediately with that realization came the conviction that I would adopt her. So she is now Bridget, and while she still has her goofy, mischievous personality, I feel the name Bridget emphasizes the other side of her personality, which is affectionate, reliable, down-to-earth, and courageous. Another of our horses had been named "Buddy" which is what I call all male creatures, so that didn't work. It was my husband who suggested the name George, and as I was delighted at this sign of involvement on his part, I went with it. At first I joked around, calling him Curious George, and George of the Jungle, but as time went by, this horse, who had been aggressive, guarded, and mistrustful, became more and more of a gentleman. One day he did something SO helpful that I cried out, "Now you are SAINT George!" And as time has gone by, I have seen him struggling with his inner demon, which is like a dragon, and whereas initially I thought we had to defeat and destroy that dragon, I have learned from him that we can patiently gentle the dragon and turn it into our ally. So I think my husband picked the right name.jmcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04715422767194960068noreply@blogger.com
