My ongoing horse hunt is hotting up. I'm viewing a very good prospect on Sunday and he looks great from the pics and videos I've had a look at so far; the right size and age etc. Also, my instructor knows the horse and has ridden it and vouches for its character, so looking good so far.
But ... I hate his name. I'm not saying what it's called, but the name just doesn't suit him (IMO). Think of a chunky coloured cob gelding called Twinkle, for example. If I have him I'm going to have to change it ...
So, does anyone believe in that old wives tale of it being unlucky to change a horse's name, or have any tales to share where they did change a name and disaster ensued? It's going to have to go, but I'm wavering.
