Just for a bit of fun who has ridden/owned etc a horse with a name that doesn't reflect the horses nature, looks etc.


I used to ride a horse called Titch he was a 18.1hh irish draft :D

Have also known a horse called Rocket who should have been called "plod"
 
Lady....Although she looks stunning when trotting round with her tail held high, shes not at all Lady-like.
Shes always farting and squeeling, and is the biggest tart ive ever seen :rolleyes:
 
honey...
i had her freezmarked M4DM (madam ;)) to counteract the unsuitable name lol
in reality she's somewhere in between bless her cottons
 
Yep my huge clumsy bulldozer of a black heavyweight cob x shire is called .....

Lily.


She couldnt be more opposite of one, I'm sure whoever named her was having a laugh, but it has come to suit her... Although she's more of a Lilo Lil ;-)
 
My daughter used to have lessons on a riding school pony whose registered name was Stir Fry.
 
My big grey mare is called Star - she is white grey with no white markings on her face

Also she has never won anything in her life (mainly because she hasn't done anything.)

I tend to call her something cow bag related like moo moo or the current one is Moo-sley, because she can be a cow bag and is more often than not brown and white where she has rolled in mud!
 
I know:
Lady- who is anything but...
Whizzie- who is an RDA pony she's that much of a plod :D
Whisper- who you can hear before you can see ;D
Blaze- who has a star on his head, not a blaze
Summer- who is black, not very summery if you ask me!
 
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge cob x shire in the yard next to our old house - called Tiny.

Friend of mine owns a lovely warmblood - rose/fleabitten grey . . . he's probably 16.2hh, nice and chunky, cracking event horse . . . name = Cuddles!

Used to ride out with a friend of mine - she had a 17hh, bay, sport horse-type mare and was starting her daughter under saddle . . . dam was called Maddy (fair enough), but her lovely 4-year-old daughter - gorgeous bright bay was called . . . Maggot.

When I was a kid there was a pony at my lesson barn called "Angel" definitely an optimistic
name! More recently one of our fellow liveries had a racing pony whose registered name included "Blackbird" but he'd obviously greyed out over the years because he was almost snow white!
 
Stable name 'Candyfloss' due to her rose grey coat...

...quickly greyed out to this!

At my old RS, I used to ride a beautiful dappled grey 16.1hh Thoroughbred gelding called.......

"Drip"

Could they not think of anything nicer to call him?!?!

Pony at an RS called Tinky Winky. That was embarassing to shout.

Mind you, one of mine's called Fergie. So many jokes there. :mad: And my cob was called Curly when I bought him - way too girly for a strapping lad like him!

Known a few daft named ones too: Poppet the evil child eating first ridden pony, Silver the dark bay, Flash who could get through a lesson without leaving an ambling walk etc...

The mind boggles!

Haha I saw her on said website :D
LOL at some of these names, especially 'Drip'!
I remember a huge cob at a riding school when I was a kid called Keyhole! :eek:
 
my horsey who i did not name, fleabitten grey called Shiny, and because she's a grey she is definitely not shiny, EVER, unless after 5hours+ of scrubbing before a show :D
 
Pony at RS called Brussel Sprout.
RS horse called Choclate Box- who'd dump you in the puddle as soon as he could
RS pony called Bullet- very, very sedate, slow bullet
Huge ID type called... Noddy
Real sweet horse called Lucifer
Palamino called Gin
Liver Chestnut called Tonic
 
At the RS there is a little grey mare who looks as if butter wouldn't melt, she's called Merrylegs and is everything but, the grumpiest pony on the planet who decided to swing round and bite me in the face!

Another pony there, really sweet haflinger mare called Noorke, pronounced Nork, not a pretty name at all.
