This was extremely difficult to judge, but I finally came to a conclusion...

Show Name: Butterscotch Pudding

Height: 12 hh
Discipline: Show Jumping
Halter Colour: something like this please! Competition: I've always had a love/hate relationship with butterscotch which I think is really funny! Sometimes I'm a big fan of it and sometimes I can't stand it but it's always something I won't hesitate to reach for when I don't exactly know what I want. It reminds me of warmth and fall, mostly because of Harry Potter, but also because of a caretaker I had as a child who, whenever she got the chance, would slip little butterscotch candies into my jacket pocket as a surprise for later. It was very sweet of her and whenever I see or think of butterscotch I'm reminded of her kindness which brings that warm and fuzzy feeling back to my heart.
I couldn't stop reading this entry, this was absolutely adorable and I just Iove everything about it. Plus the bridle you put as his halter reference is really pretty!

Show Name: Luget Usque Mane
Barn Name: Maereo
Height: 12.2 hh
Discipline: English Pleasure
Halter Colour: <3
Competition: Being a rather... grim pony, his name was given to him by his original Latin-American owners. They were firm believers in reincarnation, and so named him after their late grandfathers nickname, a former Latin professor himself. Luget Usque Mane means “Til Sunrise Mourns” and was given for the bright color of his coat, but also how he seemed oh so eager to remain in his stall when morning came, as if lamenting how the night had ended too quickly. Maereo, the grandfathers own nickname, means “Lamentor”. Both grandfather and horse were given the name due to both of their ways to very vocally complain or grieve over having to complete one duty or another. They believed that this boy was their grandfather‘s reincarnation, as they share so many traits. The staff at Adelaron Stables were happy to keep his name, as it certainly is fitting!
I really love the lore behind his name, it's very unique and I've never seen anything like it! And that halter really stuck with me, I'm a sucker for medieval-themed items.

Show Name: Two Suns in the Sky
Barn Name: Soncevet
Height: 13hh
Discipline: Endurance Riding
Halter Colour: dark purple - something like
thisCompetition: Soncevet's name comes from a combination of two words.
Sonce meaning "sun" and
svelta meaning "glow." As for his show name, it describes his personality. The handlers at the Silver Grove quickly took a liking towards the gentle pony. One of them noticed that his personality was quite similar to Arendale's, the Silver Grove's main star and best stallion. In a way, Soncevet stole Arendale's spotlight and the two stallions have some sort of rivalry over it. For now, though, there will be two suns shining down on the Silver Grove.
Definitely not a name I've heard of before! I also like that his show name refers to the rivalry he and Arendale have!
