Owner: FoalMoon
Name: An Egyptian Odyssey // Odyssey
Gender: Mare
Age: 6
Story: Well, to be honest, it is probably what everyone else is saying. This horse is by far one of the most beautifully colored, and would be amazing breeding stock. I have a couple of NRE's who have been waiting for another beauty to come along and create one, adorable foal.
Another reason is I have been saving the name
Odyssey for a long time, for the perfect horse who looks like they have a personality deserving of it. And, honestly, I think this girl's the one. The definition for the word
Odyssey is
a long series of wanderings or adventures, especially when filled with notable experiences, hardships, etc.
I think this mare would be the type to wander, a curious, adrenaline-seeking, yet pristine type that doesn't give up easily.
Okay, let me explain. Usually, when I read, I run into a lot of words that I don't know. I usually use context clues to figure out what it means, then move on. So, most of the time, I don't
really know what the word means, I just associate it with either images, feelings, sounds, or just a specific generalized idea. I ran into the word
'Odyssey' a couple of years ago, and came up with the idea that it meant 'adventure', but in a different sort of way. An Odyssey in my mind isn't just a one-time thing, it's more of like having siblings. You are always going to have siblings. And throughout those years, you are going to have wanderings and adventures with them, and over time, it sort of becomes an Odyssey. So, basically, to me, an Odyssey is more meaningful than an adventure itself. It's a
series of adventures.
OK, sorry I totally ranted up there. Whoops. Anyways, as I was saying, the name 'Odyssey' would fit her well, and it is also a meaningful word to me, so I just wanted to include that.
