Most ridiculous horse names you've come across....??

My late Clydesdale, Goliath was very imaginitively called Clyde when I got him :rolleyes:

An old friend used to have a horse she called DC as her hubby told her that she would end up at the Divorce Courts if she bought another lol :D

And years ago we had a horse at the riding school I went to called Spunky :eek:
and an 18.1 Shire x called Mouse :p
 
We had one called Scratch and have a cob mare called Peggy but all the kids call her the BFG (Big Friendly Giant) all I need now is one called The Gruffalo !

Used to ride a horse called Snoopy which really suited him.
Years ago my dad rode giant of a horse called Klondyke
 
Here we go. Its a bit of list, but I've met all of these.

Pumpkin (cob)
Joyce (shire)
Nancy (Shire)
Greeba (shire)
Vern (Suffolk)
Keyhole (coloured cob)
Blobby (posh dressage horse)

Do you have one called Django ? Great name but we chose it for our budgie! after Django Reinhardt :cool:

Fluffy - the most badly behaved, obnoxious yearling I have ever come across! I hate homebreds ...
Porridge, Bear & Sugar were all named from Goldilocks & the 3 Bears
Dora
Garth
Joe
Flag

The list is endless to be honest! The best one though has to be a horse called Skipper, more for the way he came about his name. When I heard his racename I had to very quickly close my mouth and think of a stable name for him before the one in my head stuck. He was called The Starboard Bow and you can guess what he would have ended up being called ...

There's Klingons on the starboard bow ...
 
I went on a riding holiday once when I was 14 (a looooonnng time ago) and there was a grey Arab called Pea-brain!!

Other good (bad-depending on your inclination) ones I've known are Norman, Cilla, Tikka, Walter, Ethan, Rick and Trevor
 
At the racing yard we have a racehorse called brian though his owner THINKS we call him Tommy as that's his favorite name.

He is a chaser and the biggest horse i have ever seen, he is HUGE!!
Stands at 17.2hh but looks bigger as he has sooooo much muscle, he looks the spitting image (I am not even exaggerating) of Laura B's Alf (chestnut, same socks and white blaze), his neck is as thick as a tree trunk he has the muscle of Alf.

Brian really suits him couldn't imagine him being called anything else
 
Mine is called Tosh, as in "What a load of old tosh...!" Which of course is a ridiculous horse name! I planned to change it but it sort of suited him. He's 18 now so looks like it stuck!

:D No, my boy is called Bob. His passported name is "Anablaha Con" :confused:, but I was thinking of using "Django Bob" as a show name! My OH is a web developer and uses the Django web framework, I love their pink pony logo (in my avatar) and just like the word "django"! :D

The riding school I learned at had a Hector, Tabu, Deal, Hannah, Arkie, Tequila, Lancer, Tosca, Pernod and Rambo as some of their more unusually named residents!
 
Starlight?

He's a dark brown but definitely not black middleweight 17 hand hunter. Daftest name I've ever seen in a passport :D

Close run thing though, my KWPN imports were called Vulgaus Majistralis and Zipper Lane.

Anablaha Con has me confused to :D
Django is a really cool name though and always had it in mind for our next animal, as I said turned out to be a budgie! Nothing to do with any web framework though :confused: just love listening to Django Reinhardt & Grapelli on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
Bob is good :D I have a Roberto so I s'pose I have one too!
