OH wants to call our horse Arnold Schwarznegger...help me!!

[TheEquineOak]

Bit of light hearted banter here

My 27 year old OH has a slight school boy obsession with Arnold Schwarznegger, as do his friends..(which aren't helping my situation!!)

So said horse's pet name is Arnie, we've just bought him and I think his name somewhat persuaded my OH to want him even more.

Arnie is unnamed on his passport giving us the oppertunity to call him what we want.

Can anyone think of any Arnie related names?! I was thinking... 'the 38th Stateman of California' (because Arnie obviously is )

 

[Shysmum]

OMG this sounds very serious.........you cannot call a horse "I'll be back".

We need piccies to make some suggestions

Any movie titles that aren't too cringeworthy?

The only one I can think of off the top of my head (it's early and I've only had one coffee) is True Lies.

 

[VioletStripe]

Ooh dear! Piccies are needed to help! But whatever happens.. it just can't be called Arnold Schwarznegger! How about Terminator? xx

 

[TheEquineOak]

How do I upload a pic on this thing?!

haha!! This horse has been bought for my OH but I absolutely refuse to call him Arnold Schwarznegger....poor horse

OK, problem with your name:

Picture the scene... a nice sunny show, you enter the arena and are announced by the commentator...
"And here we can see Kaylouise67 riding the 38th Stateman of California"

Might be a wise idea to try and avoid ANY names which can be related back to humans

 

[VioletStripe]

Upload the piccie onto Photobucket and then copy and paste the IMG code xx

 

[TheEquineOak]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!

Elister that was brilliant.

Ok, here is my attempt at uploading a pic...

There was a gorgouse coloured shire called that.I painted him and his owner eventually bought it off someone else.He was a big heavy skewbald

I like just 'Statesman' on its own
I also really like 'True Lies' - good film, too Have just had a quick peek on imdb and Arnie's character's surname is 'Tasker'

More film names -
Total Recall
Running Man
Raw Deal
Conan The Barbarian
Conan The Destroyer
Stay Hungry
Last Action Hero

He was in a film named 'Red Heat', which would be good with his colouring, but if you had a mare you could have named her 'Red Sonja'.

How about ''kaylouise67 riding Commando''?!

Certainly like commando

 

[muffinino]

Certainly like commando

Just make sure you don't have a VPL

 

[flowerlady]

With his colour it would have to be Red Heat. Not hefty enough for Terminator, Commando, or any of the others.

 

[WoopsiiD]

The Austrian
Mr Universe
The Republican
California Man/Boy

 

[horsecrazy25]

Awwww cute, looks a spitting image of the horse i ride except mine don't have the star!! x

 

[nikkik]

My boy is called Arnie, the dark bay/black irish cob in my sig.

 

[Shysmum]

He's lovely - Red Heat is good - Red for short ??

 

[teapot]

Some more Arie films:

Kindergarten Cop
Junior
Cactus Jack
Scavenger Hunt
The Running Man

 

[Shysmum]

Malibu ?

 

[TheEquineOak]

hmmmm quite like Red Heat, and it's not as long winded as what I had made up!

My OH on the other hand would now definetly like to call him 'the 38th statesman of California' after the little analogy E_lister came up with

 

[spookypony]

nonono.

Must be
"The Governator".

That's what Arnie gets called in Cali, for fun. I lived near Sacramento for a year.

 

[Raych]

OMG this sounds very serious.........you cannot call a horse "I'll be back".

On the contrary, I'll Be Back would be a cool show name in my opinion

 

[Ommadawn]

I think you could call a hores 'I'll be back'!! I did think of Terminator - but wouldn't want to tempt fate!

Arnie was in a movie called 'The Running Man', which might be appropriate...

Otherwise 'Total Re-call' or 'Last action Hero'...

 

[TheEquineOak]

Some fab suggestions here! Arnie is a very tall, skinny tb, so maybe the Terminator is a bit too macho.

Has anyone else found naming a horse difficult?! I don't want to embarrass the poor lad....or myself!

Sorry!

 

[BAILEY67]

One of my best friends is obsessed with the Terminator films, when her mare had a colt foal she named him "fate"
she tells me his show name is "no fate but what we make" which is what they say in the films apparently - she makes me chuckle

Not sure how true it is that though

 

[Lexie81]

Oh my God I can't believe someone else OH has the same obsession as mine! My husband loves Arnie and has made me promise if i get another gelding he has to be called Arnie! Ha ha! He has suggested...
Mr O (as im Mr Olympia which is a title he had in bodybuilding) or The Oak/The Austrian Oak which was one of his nicknames from body building according the hubby's fave book "arnold"!!
