The name 'Dapple Grey' came to me whilst feeding my young son Jack in the middle of the night. To settle him down I began to sing a song which has been sung through many generations in our family. The song speaks of a pony named “Dapple Grey”. I have so many memories of Nan singing this to me, my siblings, cousins and even my daughter Anastasia.
I also have an addiction to Fashions on the Field, and so the pony reference worked perfectly with that aspect. When thinking of possible names I wanted to somehow include my Nan and my Mum in this venture and the name Dapple Grey did that for me. My family understood the reference instantly and I hope you too get to feel the passion through my work. |
