funny names for bits of tack/horse stuff

[mole]

have you got any funny names for bits of tack or other horsey gear that you use?

i put a flash onto my bridle and left it on for when someone else rode my mare and because they didnt know it was called a 'flash' they called it her 'naughty strap' !!

ha ha so now a flash is officially known as a naughty strap !
