I'm trying to find out the meaning of a word, I think it's French. Least that's what comes up when I do a search on it. The word is "cholotte"
any of you french speakin canadians know what it means? If so....I sure would like to know.

As far as I can tell there is a Hotel in France that's named La Cholotte........

Maybe I should ask Haymaker LOL he's been takin french lessons.
 
It's the name of my horse. On his papers that is. But not what I call him. I named him Jasper. Thought it was an Indian word....just sounds like it is to me, but can't find anything online sayin that it is Indian, only thing that comes up is a hotel in France , La Cholotte. I was just wondering what it meant.

Lilly,not all words translate good from one language to another,my guess is cholotte is english for la cholotte which is french,which means "grand" I think, not sure...........me and my french teacher had a lil falling out,she was gettin a lil too serious.................good luck
 
Lily, there are so many registered horses that you start putting names on the papers together and inventing new words. I would say it means nothing.
 
Ok I'm gonna see if I can do this where it looks like they do on the papers.

YEAH, BUT...

we don't know that til we see the pedigree and/or the name.

Many times there is a connection and we can tell if it means the word "Grand", which it very well might.

Good Luck! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D It probably means chocolate. Which if you like chocolate it is GRAND.
 
Sorry I would'nt more help Lilly,but seems ta me I member that french teacher of mine hollering la cholotte burro ta me a time or two,never did really know what it meant :D ................good luck
 
I don't have the papers, just asked the man when I bought him and wrote down what he read offa the registration papers. I looked at it as I was writin it down. Even asked how to pronounce that "Cholotte' " when we were talking. It doesn't sound like chocolate.......more like....hmmmm lets see if I can do a phonetic spelling......Cho (long o) - lo (long o) - tte (tay)

Oh well......may never know, and it really doesn't matter. I was just curious if anyone knew what it meant......
 
Lilli,

Even if you didn't have any intention of transferring the the registration papers, you should have gotten them with the horse. I'm just curious as to why the seller didn't give them to you.
 
He was holdin em hostage!!!! (the papers that is) and wanted another $100 for them. I'm just not that bigga "registered" horse person. I liked the horse, bought him thru an auction, auctioneer did say that the owner had the papers on him, and to get with him after the sale was over. I did, and he wanted more money.......which I wasn't willin to pay. Kinda seemed a lil on the strange side to me that someone would want to "sell" the papers.....and that just kinda rubbed me the wrong way. For what he'll be used for, it ain't gonna matter whether he has papers or not. I realize it might up his price a lil bit if we ever decided to sell him. But oh well. There's just as many, if not more, good workin ranch horses without papers as there are with papers.
 
I have never heard of anyone "selling" the papers. Papers just naturally go with the horse, even if it is sold as a canner. Like you said, for what you are going to use him for, you don't need them. But it would have rubbed me the wrong way, too!

Well thats a new dirty trick I guess I will have to watch out for :mad:
Never ceases to amaze me how misserable and evil people can be for a few dollars.
 
Not to stand up for the guy 'selling' the papers, but you know, if registered cattle sell too cheap, usually you have to pay extra to get the papers. Probably selling the horse for $375 had a little to do with it.

I am suprised that the auction didn't require the papers be turned in when the guy consigned the horse.

For $375 I doubt if it matters much anyway if Jersey Lilly got the papers or not. Especially if it is a nice horse.
 
I don't sell the papers with the horse unless it is a ranch sale or I know the people. If they want the papers they can pay more for them. Too many horse swappers that go to sales and buy horses cheap with papers that match a grade horse they have at home.
