Did you know that I have themes and systems for naming my model horses? You didn't? Well now you do! With over 2,500 models it can be very hard to come up with new stable and show names for each model so finding themes or systems to use has made life a lot easier. One of my favourite themes is books by my favourite authors. One of those is Iris Murdoch. So today I thought I would share with you all of my models named after Iris Murdoch novels.
Make sure to let me know which is your favourite Murdoch work in the comments below. I suppose you could also just let me know which your favourite model is as well! You never know they might match!
