I'd like you to meet ten close friends of mine:

http://www.prettycunning.com/serenityten/

I volunteer at a wild horse rescue facility, where we also take in other horses in need, whether they're mustangs or not. These are some of our newest arrivals, who we named for the Firefly crew. The great thing about it is, not only do they have awesome names, it's also an opportunity to tell every visitor to the ranch about Firefly! I even had the trainer I work with take a look at an episode, so she could see where I was coming from with the naming scheme, and next thing you know she was borrowing my boxed set and calling me up every day to let me know which episodes she'd watched and how much she liked them.

Being a Firefly fan is such a blessing... not only do we get to preach to the unconverted, but Joss and Co have made it so EASY to bring new fans aboard... ;)

I've got dibs on Zoe! Now I gotta figure out where I'm gonna keep her in my townhouse and how I'm gonna get her from the wrong coast to here!

I guess I don't have dibs after all. Oh well, I'll make a donation.

The more I get to know people the more I like my dogs.

Hardware, maybe you and I could share caretaking responsibilities! One week at your townhouse, then one week at mine. Acme is right next door to me, I could go get some Purina Horse Chow.

It's eerie how MUCH little Mal looks like me...

What an awesome post! I've not stopped laughing since I started reading, and about hit the floor when I saw the beautiful horses!! (tears in eyes) I just LOVE this how folk are coming up w/ideas in their every day lives to pay homage to our BDHs!

::::whew:::: I guess it's been a long day, but that was a treat to come home to and see on the board. Thanks!

P.S. I noticed next to River ya had listed 'Tam '.
What about Simon? Seems odd that you'd give River Tam 2 horses and not one for Simon. I'd think Simon would be a cool name for a horse, personally. Besides, it wouldn't be right if Kaylee didn't have Simon to flirt with.

That's just fantastic. And while I'm really upset about the Premarin thing (and won't THAT bit of news be thrust upon many an unsuspecting friend in the near future!), what you're doing is just beautiful. My grandmother raised horses for years and years... too bad my condo won't allow a large dog, much less a Percheron!

The one named "Tam" is named for Simon... the trainer didn't like the name "Simon" so we called him Tam instead. (Like she wasn't nuts about "Book" so we called him "Shepherd", and "Jayne" would've led to a lot of explaining on why we'd named a colt with a girl's name, so we called him "Cobb" instead.)

I've been finding ways to sneak other Firefly horses in, as well... I'd been trying to think of a name for this big tough mustang mare we have in our big 20-acre pen, and finally decided that Nandi is the absolute perfect name. Now I'm just waiting for the right horses to call Badger, Jubal, Niska, Crow, Patience.... Our own Mrs. Reynolds provides a bonus FOUR naming opportunities, 'cause I can name mares Yolanda, Saffron, Bridgette and Mrs. Reynolds. :D

Aww, River looks like my horse.

I named someone's dog Kaylee once. They have no idea what firefly even is...
