In Sweden that artists name is pronounced 'Cha-gall'.
My mother is somewhat interested in art, but also, if anyone have a Swedish Warmblood, your horse might have Chagall 455 in their pedigree. He was born 1966, died 1990, fathered several international dressage horses, and can still be found in many SWB pedigrees.

I used to ride a Bonnie the Clyde. I remember her being announced as Bonnie the Clyd on one occasion.
Mine both have quite nice names albeit one is very short and one very long.
Smudgie is Afera and Rory is Billesdon's Monarch of the Glen.

It's the reason I call him Daemon - it avoids the issue of people reading it wrong... Except it doesn't, because then people call him "Damon", instead of "Demon"!

I remember someone who bought a gelding, its registered name was Merve the Perve! (stable name Mervin)

I knew how to pronounce Morrich Darrach! But then I have lived in scotland for over 20 years so it wouldn't occur to me to pronounce it any other way!

My friend used to have a mare who was passported as "Page 3 Girl" - she was a very tarty traditional cob mare so it suited her!
My sister's first horse was called Munterinney Tom, but everyone called him Tom the Munter (he was not in any way a munter but a very handsome ISH!)

Mine is Choc Block. He's dark, chunky and sweet so I guess it fits.

Mine is Mercey. I checked to see if it means anything but it doesnt. I assume its just Mercy spelt wrong as shes also referred to as a femail! When I get round to it I'll think up something better suited and have it changed. I'd never even consider changing a proper prefixed name, but Mercey just really annoys me, esp as neither myself of her previous owner have ever called her that

So did I - the one in my profile pic, horse of a lifetime. I once came across a horse, also by Ginger Dick with a damsire called Zero Watt, it was named Ginger Watt which I always thought should end with a question mark !
Not mine, but others I have come across were Ballbreaker, Prozac, Fanny Farkle.
I've also come across cobs called CobNob and a particularly short legged heavyweight called Arnie Shorzalegga

Notice lots of comments about no breeding in Irish passports, my daughters horse did have breeding in it although written in pen she registered her with the ISH registry as her new owner and when the passport was returned all this information had been ripped out.

I still have a Fanny... well, Cathael Fanfare, so it was Fanny or Fairy and as she’s a chunk of a welsh cob it really couldn’t be Fairy.
...also doesn’t help that she’s hairy and ginger... then I clipped her.... the jokes are endless at our yard!

That's interesting, because my friend's horse Chagall was a very good dressage horse and competed at quite a high level - maybe that was his bloodline too.In Sweden that artists name is pronounced 'Cha-gall'.

lol, eminds me of when my vet treated one of my many for the first time. Her name is Sweet Fairy. When I got the bill, she was down as Pixie!
Naming foals is one of the fun things for a breeder. That's why my mares have themes - and it helps to keep track of who is out of who. When Macha Pride went to Avanti Amorous Archie, I was quite restrained. She had Vanity, Mr. Darcy and Lawrence. Then she went to my boy, Indigo Pure Arrogance. Called the boy Pure Hubris (Huey), and the next one (a filly) just HAD to be Without Prejudice (Dice).

I worked in Cyprus for a while and at the saddle club we had a pony called cavigillan, named after the four ladies who chased him round the Cypriot mountains trying to catch him to bring him home, Carole, Val, Gill and Ann. He was known as Cavi.
We have a retired pony whose passported as Divine...theres nothing Divine about her! lol!

See I think that's epic. I'd want to get a whole set - I'd need a horse called "In The Library" and one called "With A Candlestick".

My PRE is called Camaron, apparently meaning shrimp in Spanish , I cannot imagine why anyone would want to name a beautiful grey horse after such an ugly and pink creature but a google search revealed that he is not the only one and there are many, many Spanish horses called Camaron!
So his groom came up with a brilliant stable name just by playing with two letters in his name and he now goes by the name of "Macaron". It really suits him because he is small, round and very sweet just like a macaron

My retired ex racer has a silly name - Katie’s Bath Time
I don’t like my riding horse’s passport name - Axel. No breeding recorded. He is the one who beggered off with me in a WH show lapping the arena with no brakes. He did the same at the weekend in an indoor SJ (just as I thought we had cracked it). Stable name is Harvey- I am seriously thinking of changing his name to Chillout Harvey ! - look closely at the photo...
