Yeah Shanthi the whole visual to verbal of either of the Irish names just doesn’t quite make sense…Keelin’s a cute name though.
thats like when we lived in the UK in my sons class there were 3 girls names Siobahn pronounced shi(like that naughty word) Shi-von
i think the spellings are from the old celtic language not to mention there were several other languages in the area tribes of those times.
I had a lovely surprise awaiting me in the barn this afternoon! Spicy Tour gave birth to her first filly today, [color=red]Fiammetta (fire) is by ICh. Lasting Spirit.

On June 8 Here’s To Luck (by Lucky Cigar) foaled a beautiful black colt, [color=blue]Music of the Night by Nightfight. We can’t wait for him to hit the track!
Today Thelma Pickles foaled a lovely dark bay colt, [color=blue]Gleipnir by Sleipnir. Gleipnir comes from Norse mythology and is thin as a silken ribbon but stronger than any iron chain, forged by dwarves to be unbreakable.
That concludes our 2015 foaling season! Best wishes to all for a healthy final month and for a successful 2016 season!
