I dont know if we are talking about the same horse but Kybo (or KYBO as in the post on here) was a very very good hurdler a few years ago. Is it the same one?

Some crackers here! Have to say that Dolly No Hair still takes some beating. He is a gelding and guess what - he has plenty of chestnut hair

I work with racehorses :) My favourite horse is called My Mate Les but others I know ...

Cheers Big Ears
Suspender Belt (owned by a ladies only syndicate)
Bob Goes Electric

I know more, just gone blank :D

We trained Cheers Big Ears, sadly looks as though he won't see a racetrack again.
Other funny names we've had are:
Cruisinforabruisin.
Frank The Swank.
Named one of mine Abitofargybargy (for obvious reasons!).
Toying between Lucky Knickers and Maytheluckbewivyou for a new one.

The owners ;) We've had a few good names .. Court Drinking who was by Alke out of Royal Forum, Mister Bit (said fast sounds like missed a bit) Roar Talent by Roar Of The Tiger .... again more, but cant think lol

Do you work for J Best? I have Court Drinking now. Was funny as had been stopped for drink driving the night before I picked him up (wouldn't have been funny if i'd been over the limit mind).
One of my favourite names running at the moment is Ride A White Swan.

I hate my racers name Lady Lion comes form her mum Miss Brookie and dad Hunting Lion, so i can see how it has happened, but it's horrid, her sister is Lady Brookie.

I call her Lady Bug and our XC colours are red with black spots!!!! Call her Bug for short though.

Racehorses called
Stilettoesinthemud,
Not So Bright (pore horse)
Lord Of The Reins
Mywifedoesnotknow
Mywifeknowseverything

Went on a stable visit & met Lord Of The Reins, aka "Dave" I think! Probably the only one I could remember the name of!

I had a Tonto O'Reilly which is the punch line to a rude joke; there was also a Tonto McTavish - same joke.

Worst name I've heard of was "Carpets Made In Devon" - what could you do with that? He's called Fred, maybe as in freadbare.

When did you have Frank Vici? We had him at college, which must have been 1997/1998 and he then went on to event with Matt Ryan, got to Advanced I think.

Think we had him as a 2yo, not sure we ran him. If I remember rightly he then went to Dave Evans', but I was pretty young so may be mistaken.
He ended up with Ian Russell, he retired him from eventing and he went to a RC home.

I put £2 to win on a horse called "Gobama" last summer.

Nice dark filly that looked like my (gelding!) and of course I loved the name!

Won it and won me £36!!

Actually he evented for 3 more seasons with me at Novice/1 star level, retired aged 16 and then did 3 seasons hunting and team chasing :eek:)
