I personally think that a good name for a colt is VARG, which means wolf in
the Scandinavian languages. Another one is VESTLAND - the part of Norway
where the cradle of the Fjordhorse stood. In the old days, I think that the
name "Vestlandshest" was used more than "Fjordhest". VIKING is another
suggestion, but perhaps it has been used a lot?

I'll think about filly-names. Have to prepare a lecture right now.
