Mine used to terrify me and bucked me off at regular intervals. Now she doesn't,but if anyone else tries to ride her she bucks them. Horrible I know, but I like it

Merlin - because he was labelled as dangerous, but has always taken care of me 
Lady - because she has the cutest nicker ever and it always makes me smile.
Fudge - because he is the most beautiful horse in the world.

my horse had not been successful as a racer, he hasn't the temperament at all for racing and in his last race on the racing post he falls and doesn't get up, that just breaks my heart when i watch it.
So he got passed through a series of worse and worse homes, where he was mistreated, injured and a walking skeleton when i got him. I just feel so sorry for him that his life went this way, and that despite this he still has the happiest and most upbeat personality. He is such a trier, really sensitive and gets upset if he thinks he has done something wrong or you are disappointed in him, so i can only imagine how he felt being passed through homes where they regretted getting him because he couldn't physically or mentally do what they wanted him to do.
I absolutely love looking at him happy and settled now, and knowing that he is in a home for life where he will be looked after. I think cause i'm adopted myself that i feel a bond with him - like the two of us are orphaned in some way - and that we are a team now.

Because he is identical to his mother, who I no longer have, so it is like having a lovely piece of her with me everyday when I look at his lurvely face.

Because I waited such a long time for him.
He is annoying, a PITA but such a dude! he is great with my OH and looks after him when he rides. He plods along next to small boys with shiny red bicycles without batting an eyelid. He protects me from dangerous calves by doing his High Alert Danger! Danger! snort and he is great when galloping across the field and stopping when i ask him to. He loves the dog (except when she tries to steal his food!) and loves racing across the field with her.
He is emotionally rubbish and couldn't care less if I am upset because someone has died, but makes up for it with special Love Nuzzles when I don't expect it, which makes them all the more special.
But he is special to me because he changed my life.
