I always associate it with cows, not horses.

Your going to tell me now you have a horse called Daisy arent you?

[Spyda]

Hey! No way. Honest!!!

Actually, I was just thinking back to my Arab's daft name - Kehshshpian. I used to BSJA with him and I was remembering all those hilarious announcements over the tannoy as I entered the ring with him! Plus I had a complicated double-barrelled surname to go with it

It always lightened up my nerves laughing to myself as I headed towards that first fence!

 

[Spyda]

Hey! My first pony was called Daisy! Canfield Daisy in fact! Plainest mare you ever set eyes on and bolted with everyone, so the delicate 'show name' didn't really suit her. Always thought she should have been Christened Satan or Sinner

 

[sallyellis]

My 16.2hh grey ID mare is called Cilla and no I didnt name her, but people always grimace when told what her name is...!

 

[CracklinRosie]

Once knew a little pony called Minty, which is a bit odd.

Livery at same yard years ago had a horse called Nessie!

Don't know any weird ones right now!

My horse is called Adrian. It does suit him... he's a funny horse.

 

[Vicki_Krystal]

one of my horses is called Sniff.
His showname is Universal Toyboy! - he doesnt even give the mare in the next field the time of day so he definatly doesnt live upto his name!!

 

[Storminateacup]

Oh and just to add ,I had a friend from years ago that used to exercise an eventer named Intercross she use to hate hacking him out in case anyone asked her his name!

 

[somethingorother]

When i was little i went with some people whos horses i rode to see a fell mare called DORIS with a hoof injury. Me being about 11 scoffed oh my god Doris what a stupid name!!! It was their mare out on loan. Ooops.


It is a stupid name for a gorgeous fell mare though!

[/ QUOTE ]

One of our scurries is called Minstrel, shortened to Minty

Never held him back, was champion at HOYS with his partner as Sebastian & Coe

When Seb died, we replaced him with his son named...Son.

My horse's name is Titan, which is a bit dramatic for a pikey pony but it suits him

I used to go on holidays to the Heart of Wales in Rhayader and they had a horse named Nookie

 

[duckling]

I knew a Cilla and a Doris too..!! Also a Mavis, Dumbo, an obese Shetland called Littlebit and a Kinky (apparently named for the kink in her mane!!

)

 

[Kate260881]

Used to know a big WB called Hovis

When I tried my boy they refused to tell me his name till we bought him. Its Jeremy which at the time I though was so embarassing but he actually really suits it. If he was a person he'd be a very polite well spoken public school boy

 

[rolls1392]

Horse in my siggy is Brian.
Nothing to do with snails!!!

 

[hannah87]

My first pony was called Squirt.
Apparently named due to her runny poos as a foal!

 

[loxley]

Sausage and Pilot

[LindaW]

One of mine was a grey mare by Welton Crackerjack, the people who used to own her hated her name - Jessie James (go figure!) and changed it to.....

Suzie Lightning - gulp!

Nothing beats Salad though (chestnut in my sig)

 

[natalia]

hahah! After working on a dealers yard you get used to funny names- here are some of the best i can remember, and yes, I am responsible for some of them, and some are still called these-
Doris- this was actually a gelding, but a foriegn one and his name translated to dorothy, so it stuck
Long Shanks- had very long legs, went to a riding school and is still called this!
No Eyes- had very sunken eyes and was a big black ISH, he's now called Sebastian and doing very well!
Pig- nickname for my gelding, his real name is brig, but thats what he gets called and has done since he was born!
Shed- (this was a sh*t head to break in, no one ever got the name! and so it stuck!)
jerimiah- little nf i had, was so sweet.
Benson- show name "Tower Hamlets" aka my log in, he's a hackney! and one of the countrys best up and coming 148s now, and yes, he still has this as his reg bsja name! muhahaha!
robin- coloured with a red chest
dennis- was a mennis.
Angel- reg haflinger, this was on her passport so it stuck!
super pony- another 148, was called this as she had a marking the shape of supermans symbol on her forehead, and was also a super pony!
sat nav- friends sj
pork chop- a very badly behaved young pony- this later changed to Cracker, and he did eventually come right
Pancake- little 12hh, named by friends daughter
Guy fawkes- arrived from ireland on fireworks night
Drum- big black thing
Iggy pop- eldery grey tb we rescued, looked a bit unkempt hence the name!
Gary- very well bred show pony by indigo blue, think he got called this as he was "gary the larry" a bit thick

I'm sure I'll think of more!
