New Year, new name?

I've been appallingly slack at updating Bella's blog - I don't do much with her now that I'm living in Papakura and working in the city and she is in Dairy Flat. I try to see her every weekend.

Bella ties up (and stays tied up!), loves being groomed/given attention and walks/halts inhand. She didn't want to/didn't know about trotting inhand the other weekend so had an impromptu lunge lesson - happy to halt, walk, trot on the left rein, not so sure about doing the same on the right rein.

I would like to take her to Helensville and Kumeu A&P shows but they may end up in the 'too hard' basket. Bugger.

Anyways, most people didn't like "Believe" as a showname so with some research, I discovered "Meissen" - a German town, and a type of porcelain. I believe it is pronounced "My-sin" but I would imagine a lot of people will pronounce it "Meesan". There is already a 'Meissen' registered with NZEF so I will register Bella as "Meissenz"
