Really, really wrong horse names...

Oh lordie, well I posted earlier in this thread to say that I have a Cyril. Picked up his dressage time for Sunday and somehow the organisers have now got him entered as Clive! Ah well, starts with the same letter I suppose :D

... oh and the ad in the right side of the page is currently showing Roy the allrounder - if only his owners photographic skills were as good :o
 
Haha! I HAVE a Clive! When we bought him my mum said he looked like a clydsdale.. (actually a warmblood) she wouldn't stop calling him it and in the end it stuck...I love it now :D
 
Crosslanes, Arborfield - many years ago - had a horse called Steve - he was lovely to ride but if I remember rightly he was a bit grumpy. Foxhill (Spencers Wood) also many years ago had a big grey mare called Sonja, and a Winston.
 
My Mum had a donkey called Arkle.

I had a Trevor and a Sebastian and currently have a lovely Shetland on loan called Victor.

At work we have a Telex and a Tasty and there was Microchip too.

At one point I had a Tommy and a Bunty and by amazing coincidence kept them on a yard owned by a lovely couple called..........Bunty and Tommy!
I came home from the yard one eve and was telling my son how as it was such a clear frosty night, from the top of the muck heap you could see for miles and Tommy (man) and I c were watching the lights on the planes landing at Gatwick. My son gave me a slightly worried look and said 'Mum, I know you love that horse but don't you think that's taking things a bit far?'
 
Have had some fun ones over the years,but rather like odd names- too many boring ones about!

Best few include Nobby,Richard, Gordon,Toby and Brick for a rather substantial cob :o

And how could I forget the most special- a coloured called Guinness.......was a b*gger to catch in the summer and had many a fun filled evening shouting for Guinness only to be met by some clever clogs telling me the pub was the other way :rolleyes:

I had a Basil, cue all the Faulty Towers impressions of BAZZZZIIIL!!

There was also a cremello mare on the yard called Ambrosia, but as she was rather ugly bless her became known as Custard...
 
Current title holder in endurance of EuropeanWorld Championships & WEG titles is called Nobby. No good horse ever a bad name....
 
I used to have Reg the Racehorse (though he was a pretty bad one). When I picked him up I asked the lad why he was called Reg, and he looked at me for a moment then said "They're all called Reg .......... or Norman." :D

A friend of mine has an Andy which I think is quite cute :)

When I did hunters we had four Bens in the yard, so they all got called by their owners' names - Tim, Tom, Guy and Adrian :)
 
My last horse was a TB gelding called Minnie (short for Minstrel) and at the same time I had a loan pony called Desmond... a mare! Our current mare has Madonna in her posh name so she's known as Madge and it really suits her. I know a very old mare called Pussy Willow, know only as Pussy. We've had a Tommy (11:2hh dun pony) and my sister's pony is called Bear, my new one is Copper.
 
I used to ride one called Shot. No I have no idea how the name came about.
Crispin was a strange one, really not a horse name.
Friend's daughter rides a tiny pony called Colin. That just seems so wrong. A Colin should be a big RID or something.
I also used to ride a Bomber
Very appropriately named!
 
My friend at the yard has sporthorses Alfred and Reginald and ex racer Joseph (Alf and Reg and Joe).
Another friend there has a dog called Dave.
Yet another friend there (female)is called George. And her horse is called - wait for it - George!
My dogs are Joe and Neville.
My two criollos have spanish names: Pato and Tortuga. They translate to "Duck" and "Tortoise." I didn't name them!
