Callum
Shamrock
Scallywag
Dillon-pretty Exmoor mare
Emma-why would you call a pretty little black TB Emma?
Mosha
Rodney
BJ-short for Black Jack have known 2 of there
Fat Jack
Baby jack
the three above were all at the same yard
Horace a beautiful chestnut arab stallion
I still want to call a little colt Clegg but as I don't/won't breed anything it is unlikely that will happen
 
I can remember a story in either Pony or H+P where the pony was called Nigel, did make me smile :D

my horse is Barney, think its a silly name but he couldn't be anything else.

old yard had two Macs at one point, despite trying to change their names they were Mac 1 and Mac 2. Mac 1 retired and Mac 2 is still known as Mac 2, the name has just stuck.

Also remember there was a racehorse a few years back named Simon, ran the Grand National one year!
 
I've got Freddy(aka Fat Freddy),Sleepy,Bounty(?!) and my fave,Chester.A good friend has Tarzan(naughty native),Chinney and Charlie(cheeky Shetland).

I, too am the besotted owner of an Eric! Also knew a Brenda (cob mare , backside of a cook!!!) One of my favourites was Twinkletoes - 18.2hh chestnut result of an accidental mating between a clydesdale mare and a TB stallion. Fabhorse though.

The funniest bit was that Clive was a very smart sprint bred tb who I found unbroken in a field at 6. He was a legend, did some very serious showing under his proper name 'Aramstone' and then was sold to go hunting with the Radnors. He was a comedian of the highest order and was forever in some sort of muddle!
 
Most of mine have normal names. I have a Jeff aka The Hocamaffe (real name Jefertiti!) Max, Lance, Pippa, Lucy and Gerry. And then you get Gray (no prizes for guessing his colour!) Ranger, Charm, Flint, Rains, RQ's (pronounced Arcs) SOS, Firefly, Bells and Freebie.

We have had some good names on the yard - Lobster for a horse who was called Namedatdinner. Guinnes - Itstimeforapint. Lego - Legbeforewicket.

The list goes on! These days we get that many horses in and out they usually end up as part of their racing name.
 
Lots of people names:
Alfred
Boris
Charlotte
Cuthbert
Jamie
Gerry
Glenn
Calvin
Chris
Colin
Donna

Also loaned a Karma, and known of a Mandela!
 
We have a Tango, Neville who is a big wb foal, Joss, Lucy the Arab, Sieben and Chanel.
We had dogs called Philip, Harvey, Malteaser, Munchies, Baby, Bagel and Crumpet. Oh and Doughnut lol

I agree, I used to ride at a riding school and a lady there owned 2 mares one called Emma and the other called Lisa!!

On the same row there was a Willy, Spartacus and a Berkley and just across a pony called Shane!!

Human names are the best though, not always in some cases but still funny.
 
Mr Bean (very much the Rowan Atkinson figure too!)
Hippy
Boobie
Best Ewart (he was a lovely gelding) Bit of a nightmare for commentators tho ;)
Perky (must have had a partner at some point called Pinky?)

And lots of human, flora & fauna names too :) as well as 'usual' equine names.
 
ooh.. friends had a mare called After Eight, they called her Nine.

and wasn't there a race horse whose nick mae was Pot-8-Os after the groom misspelt his atble name (potato) as Potoooooooo and it stuck.
 
Yard owner loves a good human name for her horses and dogs

Over the years we have had;

I also know a horse called Greg. He came with the name Dick, but because he's a riding school horse his name had to change..."you're on Dick today", "you ride Dick really well" etc. So now he's called Greg.
