I got to name a horse!

Yes I did :)

On the FiSH (Former the Fugly Board) Dutchy posted about her BO's breeding - nice mares, nice stallions, and so much bad luck this year. The first not stillborn foal was born by that time, but very premature. She had seizures, was weak, wouldnt stand etc.
She asked for names, it had to be something special, start with E, and preferrably end with -linde since this filly was out of the BO's mare line she had had for 3 generations, all ending with -linde.

Among other names I proposed Engelinde, which means "Female Angel" in danish. This name was chosen for the little filly, who continued to get better and stronger. Until April 21 where she died, quickly and unexpectedly, from an infection that would not have mattered if she were not so premature :( I would have loved for her to grow up and maybe google her name from time to time, but it was not to be. Rest in Peace, little Engelinde.
