Why Rathtay?
Derived from "rath" (fort) and the River Tay, this name signifies a stronghold by Scotland's longest river. It evokes images of wide, peaceful waters, fertile banks, and a sense of deep, flowing calm and abundance. This name beautifully suits a gentle, graceful mare. A Rathtay has a peaceful demeanor and a smooth, flowing way of moving. She is a picture of tranquility, her spirit as deep and calm as the great river itself.
A gentle grey / white Warmblood mare who commands attention — the kind of horse that turns heads before even starting to move.
