Carntay
"Celtic · Place"
Why Carntay?
Derived from "Carn" (cairn) and the River Tay, Scotland's longest river. This conjures an image of grandeur: a cairn overlooking the mighty, flowing Tay, a symbol of enduring legacy and proud, sweeping grace connected to a royal river.
A regal and proud mare suits the stately name Carntay. She possesses a flowing, majestic grace and a commanding presence. Like the great river, she moves with powerful elegance and carries herself with the proud bearing of a natural aristocrat.
A regal grey / white Quarter Horse mare who commands attention — the kind of horse that turns heads before even starting to move.
Is Carntay the Right Name for Your Horse?
