Mystery Solved.....
We had a hard time coming up with a name for the cute new addition. We thought about “Smitty” (Ft. Smith reference) but that didn’t stick. “Peaches,” since she came to us from Georgia. Nope. Since we had a winner last month and no one took a shot at the details to our photo, we decided to fill you in on the significance and details. The photo was taken of “Bella” on the day we picked her up. Bella is actually a Georgia peach, but we didn’t pick her up in Georgia. We were at the Old Fort Days Futurity in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The picture was taken on the bleachers and Bella is posing in Vick’s hat.
So, it came down to a name game. We began rambling off the names of horses that were doing well that year (I believe it was 2004.) One name stood out to us. The horse was ridden by Cody Bauserman and the name was “Bellafous.” That name seemed unique enough. (And of course, Bella - for short - means beautiful!) And so the story of how “Bella” got her name. She is actually named after a horse.......of course.
