Equid's Name (must have C): Círdan
Age: 6
Gender: Stallion
Height: 14hh
Reasoning: As soon as I saw this stallion I knew I trusted him to be fitting of a Tolkien name, and when I thought of Círdan, it was perfect. I wanted to choose a name that had something to do with grey or silver, because this stallion has such a gorgeous shiny coat, and I'd already had my heart on Círdan when I did recall that he was described as having grey or silver hair. Círdan, meaning "shipwright" in Sindarin, was a Telerin elf from JRR Tolkien's The Silmarillion, he was one of the wisest and the oldest know elves, as well as a bearer of one of the elven rings of power, Narya, for a time. Círdan as well is the elf that welcomes them to the Grey Havens, which has a sentimental significance for me as that's the part I always get choked up during when I watch The Return of the King. His eyes are also described as being "keen as stars" and I think that's perfect considering the hue of this stallion's gorgeous eyes, like galaxies. Even just the sound of the name is beautiful, and it just fits perfectly.
I apologize for rambling on a bit, I managed to cut it down by a signifigant portion. Tolkien just really means a lot to me and is a big part of my childhood, so when I saw this stallion and thought of the name Círdan, I couldn't help but hope.
