Show names that you have made up for your horses!

Posh Tottie :D

Always gets the judges when they're reading that one out :)

My Dad bought my elder sisters a pony to share when they were kids and called him Minus. He was a gelding, afterall :D:D:D
 
Most of mine are ex racers or bought from breeders, so very rare I get to name them!

However, a few years ago I bought a 2yo unamed TB, sire is Silver Patriarch so we had him registered as Silver Alchemist, hoping he would bring us some gold. (Yes, this was found at the bottom of a nice bottle of red wine, which probably explains the tenous link!). I love it as its individual and different (we double/triple checked all the societies and associations and there weren't any others) and we did put hours of thought into it but it just came to the tip of the tongue and was perfect for him. He has a weatherbys passport and is SHB(GB) registered and overstamped.

Dj is "Deja Vu Jones" as he's very like his sire Dow Jones Courcel.

Whisper is "Scream and Shout"

Billy is "What Luck"

Charity is "Penant Flame"

Hope is "Celtic Spring"

Faith was "Kilarney Beauty"
 
My last horses stable name was Sam - his show name was Quantum Leap :D

My current horse Arion is Star of Arion - not very inventive but it suits him
 
Juparana Flight -Katie
Subaltern Will - William

Miss Ireland - Summer
Coole Dude - Dude

I have named 3 of mine. Olly was called Louie when I got him but for some reason I kept calling him Olly. He is very much like Oliver from the film so he became Oliver Twist.
Pippa was just an absolutely bombproof horse who was "practically perfect in every way" so she became Mary Poppins.
And Little Miss was Sandy when I got her (still is really) but I don't really like the name so her stable name is either Little Miss or Mistress. She is a typical little feisty welshy who likes to have a strop so her show name is Throwing a Paddy - her old owner was called Paddy and he was a great friend, after he died I wanted his name in there somewhere as he adored her.
 
Sunny is "The Sunbeam".
Bridie is "Bridie, Bell(e) of the Ball" (yard joke about my surname)
Molly is "Good Golly Miss Molly"
Lady is "Lluest Shady Lady" (she is on permanent loan from Lluest Horse and Pony Trust)

Yard cat is Tinker, aka Stinker, Tinky Winky and several others names related to his habit of peeing on people sleeping over in the caravan

Yard pigeon is Robbie. Far too long a story to explain why!
 
Most of mine have names associated with their breeding but I don't know Blackjack's parenthood, but I know he BSJA'd as "I'm alright Jack" but I didn't like that so I jumped him (unaffiliated) as "Midnight Dreamer" because he's black (well, dark bay) - Midnight - and generally asleep - Dreamer - and people generally dream at Midnight.

Thought it was quite clever!!
