Élan or Not

Hubby and I met this darling 8-day old Thoroughbred filly today. While we marveled at her long legs, the future racehorse posed with her proud mama and the veterinarian who delivered her. The mare is sweet and quiet, but her filly is all spunk--what we in Wyoming would call "a pistol." 

Dr. Powell didn't know if the owner had named her yet. I'm a compulsive animal christener, so of course I've thought about what I'd name this little beauty if she were mine: Élan.
