There was also:

The Wife's Sister
Silly Wupple
Bonkyll Knight - named in all innocence to start with!
Ahdehken

One of my lads nephews is called Oddjob.

On the yard we don't really have any funny ones at the moment. In the past there was "Straighttothebar". At the mo we have:

Bear Dancing.
Porridge.
The Starboard Bow - I called him Skipper in the stabke and made sure it stuck before I mentioned - there's Klingons on the starboard bow ...
Nelliedonethat.
We also now have Santa's Son.

The ones named after their parents so they kind of form a sentence are quite good. Where You Lead was the other of I Will Follow. Then you had Where You Go who was the mother of I Go Too.

we've had quite a lot of average ones, but two that really stand out are

Skovshoved (no idea how to say it as it's a danish town)
Ankles Back..... no idea what the significance of that!

used to ride a horse called Chip Pan!

I had one once called Sizzling Melody, a gelding, we called him Sausage.

Currently I have one called Irate, he is a stubborn mule of a horse who has just kicked a hole in my barn door - he was aiming at the Farrier, fortunately he missed - Git! :mad:

Some of these names must be a nightmare for Commentators.

Nasty Boss, he was lovely one of my faves. We also had Spice is Nice who was evil!

Cards and Kisses, lovely horse, silly name. Her full sister was Highly Inflammable, great name for a racehorse. One of the worst named horses on the yard was Dottie's Walker. Why?

Another good name was Touch of Danger.

Couple of good ones I've heard fairly recently are Just For Men and Twincamdrift- owned by a Ford fan I wonder?

And Jafeica.

Knobleeneeze won me a fortune at Doncaster many years ago!

I rode knobleeneeze many a day. He was a bus to ride.

There was a lot of laughing at the yard when Big Fella Thanks was named (although it was actually after a greyhound not the size of Mr Barbers willy!)

Sally Webster, Johnny No Cash, Felixdahousecat all come off the top of my head. If I had a think I could probably name a few with funny names!!

That's good to know, to be honest I was rather drunk at the time, a bookie actually put a bet on another horse for me but I insisted I had to have knobleeneeze and he won! Special place in my heart, me and the girls had an ace chinese meal on him lol!

There are some hilarious ones over here in France, must jog my memory.

The one that always makes me laugh out loud when the commentators say it is 'Golden Shower' :eek::eek:
