no-name: we actually got new people coming and asking if they could name him! but "no-name" was his actual name.

We had Boots as well as Sox
We also had a Tosca and then another one turned up with the same name so we called her Ascot( Tosca back to front).
At Xmas we got four new ones- they are called Sparkle, Tinsel, Frosty and Rudolph!

Isn't there a song about riding through the desert on a horse with no name??

This is a great thread - I'm really starting to reminisce about all the RS ponies I've either ridden or been flung from as a child

I don't know if it is the same with the rest of you, but wasn't it the pony that was the naughtiest and buckiest and had the most kids off that EVERYONE wanted to ride??? Because that one was the most fun!

Buck, who would usually throw in a buck when you were jumping!

 

[Tiny Fluffy Coblet]

Passion was a good one, horrible little bay roan beastie.
George always made me giggle for some reason.
Nipper did
Bert the b@st@rd
Cloud - who was chestnut

My first riding school named them all after drinks, which was fine except for the owner's mare who was known as BV (shortened from Black Velvet). OH reliably confirms this is also an abbreviation of an unpleasant infection...

Someone on here posted some really gorgous pics a while ago of a naughty little shettie called TonyPony, I can't remember who it was though. I thought that was a fab name and I'm determined to steal it next time I buy a companion

We have too many funny names at the sanctuary which I work at;
Christmas has a friend called Cracker.
Laurel has a friend called Hardy.
Smirnoff
Drambuie
Angel (not a funny name, but when you know her you realise it is totally wrong for her!)
Mr Raffles
Bucket
Mini-haha
Cottage

I could be here forever naming the funny ones.. I just don't know who came up with them...I mean Bucket? Lovely! haha

I know this pony! A stables near mugdock? You were always told to carry your stick like an umbrella so you could smack him when he tried it on

 

[DaisyDoll]

I learnt to ride on the aptly named Chubby! There was also Nemo (a big black warmblood) Rolo who actually looked like a rolo, Declan, Mickey (evil), Tinkerbell, Dolly, Robbie, Tommy Childflinger as mentioned above and Danny

Not sure if I should post this, when I first started learning to ride, decades ago, the riding school had two little black shetlands called S ambo and Ni **er Don't think they would get away with it now.
