Ballyness
"Celtic · Place"
Why Ballyness?
"Baile" paired with "neas," a promontory or headland, means "homestead on the headland." It conjures images of wind-swept cliffs, open skies, and a place exposed to the exhilarating, fast-moving elements.
This name fits a spirited and fast mare perfectly. Her spirit is as wild and free as the coastal wind, her speed like a gull skimming the waves, full of untamed, joyful energy and boundless motion.
A spirited bay Friesian mare who commands attention — the kind of horse that turns heads before even starting to move.
