once new a little shetland called pondweed.. or pond for short as he would escape and was always found in the little pond in the owners garden haha

I've known a few:
Pi
Magnum
Duo
Chocolate
Nosey
Wurzel
Rembrandt
Drummer
River
Troy
Cameo
Sovereign
Strawberry
Tonto
Kiara
Fortune

Not all necessarily weird, but not as common as others I've known like Rosie, Bess, Misty, Jemma, Bobby, Billy, etc.
Personally, I love unusual horse names - it's not like the other horses will pick on them for it like kids would at school!

 

[Paint Me Proud]

knew a horse called Uzi, never heard that before or since.

Another that amused me was a mare called Mardi, and she really was a mardy mare!

 

[Enfys]

I had one called Useless.

Also known a Frog, a white mare called Coal, and a black named Snowdrop. One of my favourites was registered as 'The Black with Four Whites. '

 

[Enfys]

There are some very clever, funny and downright risque racehorse names too.

Oh & another one called Qwerty! Now look at your keyboards..

My girl is called Ethel everyone comments on how it's a strange/proper (depends on the person commenting!) for a horse! There was a horse at my old yard called Stripes, he was an appaloosa and at my current yard there was the nicest, most gentle, huge chestnut racehorse, can't remember his race name but his stable name was Muppet!

I've commented on one of these threads before, but I went on a riding holiday as a teenager and they had a grey arab called PEABRAIN!!!!!

 

[Pasture Mix]

Peabrain?! That's awesome! Bet it stemmed from the horse's behaviour..

 

[Batgirl]

Well we have a David, his fieldmate is Rudie,
I've come across a Robin, MG (for Misery Guts - only the bravest or a fool entered his stable), Schubert, Tebo/Thibeaut (?), Sly, Conrad, Flight, Blanco, Bonus & Bosun in various places over the years. My wish-I'd-owned-him horse was a chestnut morab called Glory. I've also known a few Alfie's, Candy's (always trouble!), Chester/Jester, Beautys, to balance the less common names.
Oh, forgot the new livery at our yard, Tank...
