If I had bred the horse, I'd be most put out if the name was changed.

However, there's nothing preventing you from doing so if you wanted to.

I think you can call him what you like on his BSJA registration, our horse was Gamble on his passport but daughter jumped him under something else for BSJA.

Yes thats what i was thinking but wasnt sure if it had to match passport

Absolutely this especially if it is a registered prefix. It's easy enough to say if you break it down to ffoss y gwyn a dau.

If you do want to change it when you register officially then I think it costs a lot more - as it should, breeders work hard for their recognition.

Wonder why they changed his name from a perfectly good one to....kendal...

You wouldn't get me calling a coloured horse Tonto I'd have changed it too.

I have a friend who had a coloured called Tonto.. what's wrong with that?!

Lol, Joey was always called Tonto by OH! Not sure which was worse actually, he only got called Joey as his head looked like a kangaroo when he was born.

Poor Joey

I like tonto too .. but to late to change that bit i think i would like his show name more if his stable name was tonto would mean more may the easy answer is to leave his passport as it is even though i dont know breeder and cant find them either still wouldnt like to upset

i could just register him as tonto or kendall when i come to register be and bsja this year aslong as its ok that it doesnt match passport he has never been registered before

Poor Joey

I know, poor horse was doomed from the start. We still miss him loads.

Changing the name on the passport depends on the PIO. some allow it, some dont.

My coloured was Jack-A-Do on his passport when I bought him...I changed to Queensway Harlequin Prince...stable name Jester

I added my boys show name to his passport.

I understand the issue with the in pronounceable - it's bad enough with my boys name 'salvo' let alone that flossy thing!

I shall watch this with interest as I've been wondering how easy it is to get a passport name changed myself. It's not that I don't like my cob's name but it's the shortened 'pet name' on the passport and I'd prefer it was his full one.

my lot all think they're called "Come On Come On", i just have to holler it once and they're on their way!

Change His name to what you want, if you leave the welsh name hardly anyone will be able to say it and you'd just get a seconds hesitation then a quick mumble.

We have a Belgian horse and its never had its foreign name pronounced the same way twice when it went out jumping.

Agree the breeder might be annoyed, if they ever find out!

My daughters pony has had a name change on her passport. I dont know why i prefer the old one It was Starlight and has been changed to BJ's Celtic Star. Although the previous owners double barrelled name was started with B and J. I wanted to change it back to the original name but shes also been registered with the BSJA so would have to change both and it would cost to much for me.
At the moment though shes just going to pony club/unaffiliated shows so she goes under her stable name Star which suits her because she really is a Star bless her!!!
