Funniest Riding School pony names...

[Flicker]

Following on from Charlie76's gorgeous post with her riding school ponies and their cute (and apt) names, what's the funniest riding school pony name you've come across?

When I was a kid our riding school's naughtiest pony (at all of 13.2hh) was called Ohno. Because that's what everyone who rode him would say just before they hit the dirt!!

 

[tallyho!]

My rs pony was called Beauty - neither by name nor by nature did this fit. I thought it rather ironic

 

[Montyforever]

Buddy - a companion pony

 

[puppystitch]

We had a halflinger type mare at my riding school called Bailey. When Rumpole produced a foal they called him Rumpole - apt in the obvious way but also because of his big round Rump!

 

[Tiny Fluffy Coblet]

I once knew a Badger - not great, however worse was his brother who they named Beaver.

Who are you riding today? Beaver........

Then we have Black Jack who had been shortened to BJ

There were some stunners considering.

 

[flintmeg]

Sporty, a chubby welsh c, he was a beast! Had some great times with him!

 

[Gluttonforpunishment]

An irascible shetland renamed L.B. - short for Little B***er - renowned for dropping his shoulder and dumping his rider at every opportunity.

 

[SuperCoblet]

We also had a huge grey mare called Disney. Cos she disnae do any work! (I'm from Glasgow so in my accent that makes perfect sense!!)

 

[Damnation]

My last mare was called Poutu (Poo-Too) .. French for sunbeam we think.

My current one is Buffy.. the vampire slayer!!!

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

Riding school at Uni had a horse for a while called Moo

My first RS had a pair of shetties called Pinky and Perky, a stallion called Nugget, and a palamino called Popcorn amoung others. My RS always seemed to have lots of Charlies, so there was Charlie Cream, Charlie Grey, Charlie Black etc

My favourite though has to be at RS I went to in New York who had two peruvian horses called the very traditional names of Cory and Dave!

 

[JFTDWS]

love this!

We also had a huge grey mare called Disney. Cos she disnae do any work! (I'm from Glasgow so in my accent that makes perfect sense!!)

I knew one of these too, but it was in Essex - no one understood why they'd named her it until my mother said it in her Glaswegian accent!

We also had a pony called Tinky Winky. Oh the teletubbies era. Please tell me it's over now?

 

[puppystitch]

I used to ride a horse called John....my friend's boyfriend is John so it led to massive confusion. Seriously, there are few human names that work for horses!

[Kat]

The riding school I ride at has a Pimms - the YM wanted to be able to stand on the yard and shout "anyone for pimms??" to a bunch of kids!

They also have a Blackjack known as BJ!

The place I used to ride at when I was young had a homebred mare called tiffany because "I think we're alone now" was number one when she was born and she was a chestnut.

They also had a Paddington Bear, and a Wurzel.......

Have come across plenty of very unoriginal ones over the years too, the obligatory spotty called domino, chestnut called flame, bay called chocolate, irish horse called Paddy, etc

 

[TelH]

Many years ago where I used to ride there were 2 ponies called Phillip and Phyliss, they were identical, the only way I could tell them apart was by looking to see which one was the gelding

 

[purplehorserocks]

We had a halflinger type mare at my riding school called Bailey. When Rumpole produced a foal they called him Rumpole - apt in the obvious way but also because of his big round Rump!

I think you must be on about the same Rumpole and Bailey from my rs. In sudborough? I worked there for a while and he was a right so and so. No manners and really bolshy!

[feisty_filly]

pushkins was the strangest name! although the lady that ran the power course at the yard had a dog called "au" as in "hay you"

 

[RuthnMeg]

A palomino who was called Huntsman. He was gelded late and a bit of a rogue. There was an option to keep him or send him to the 'huntsman' hence his name I guess!
Muffin the mule, who wasn't a mule as such, but could act like one!
Jimbob
Mary!
Apple Pie - the greediest pony ever.
Brownlee
Frisky Alfresco
Dunno
Ameila
Squiffy - the skewbald one whose stable was always like a cowshed to muck out!
