Whats the oddest horse's name you have come across?

The guy who bread my mare got all his names from the obituaries so mine was Doris, she was quickly re-named Raven!

Someone on my old yard bought a colt just as the credit crunch hit so called him Crunchie.

My dog is called Alfie but when he is naughty and you call him Alfred he really knows he is in trouble.

There is also Itchy and scratchie on the yard I am at now.
 
On the PPC team we had a Bacardi and a Tequila.

The local riding school uses tree names as a theme. Most are good, but there have also been Conker, Bonsai (about 16.2hh) and Peanut...
 
Do itchy and scratchy have sweet-itch? (maybe its just my mind that works that way) I had a pony who suffered with it called tufty!

I love human names for horses and have known a Dylan, Valerie (suited her very well), charlie, poppy, rodney... my personal fave is derek!
 
My current pony is called Shrek, my old pony was called Pringle. I was at a competition once and over the tanoy came: "Here is *John Smith* riding Naked"...
The commentator then went on to say: "Whatever his riding attire John Smith is over fence one."

Found that rather funny! I forgot the riders name so John Smith isn't real!!!
:)
 
I used to hear of a horse called 3D at shows - only problem it sounded like VD over the tannoys!

I had a Sec D stallion called Trevor as he was Trevallion bred, the guy I bought him from didn't go much on names and called him 'Boll..ks On'!

Also had a mare on loan years ago called Hey Presto

Had a McGuinness too, named after vet who saved his life
 
The mare I ride at the moment was called 'Farah Fawcett Majors'. How embarrassing! That soon got changed!

And a friend used to jump one called 'Finger'. Announcement went something like (fake names used to protect their street cred!) 'Here is Betty Smith riding Fred Jones's Finger' :eek: That's MUCH worse than Farah Fawcett....... :D

How rude!!!!!
 
Have met some odd ones over the years.
Few that spring to mind are Nobby,Laddie,Filly,Tax(Tax Rebate) Minnie Mouse,Jenny(a gelding) and Brick Sh*thouse :o
 
Despite knowing a Harry Spotter and a Yum Yum, I find Clive to be the weirdest horse name I have come across! Makes me laugh every time I hear his owner shout him in from the field!
 
Dolly No Hair. He was lovely and we agreed sale. Despite this, owner sold him to someone else. Gutted. But never heard of a stranger name

How about Meathead?

Funny thing was he acquired a rope burn around the top of his neck up near his head and the hair grew back white so it looked like he'd had a head transplant! He needed one really, was ugly as they come as well as being ignorant to ride.

He was eventually renamed Keb (wtf?) after a parent complained that the instructor was insulting her child, not encouraging the pony when he shouted "come on Meathead!"
Click to expand...

That made me laugh - I had a cat called Meathead!
My friends mother rode a horse called "Intercross" back in the 1960s - she had great fun when the irish road diggers ask her his name, as he was an impressive looking horse!

I am going to see one with a friend tomorrow called ELVIS! :D

We have seen loads and they all seem to have 'odd' names

Derek
Best
Sumpa
Elvis
Spider
Chubs
Mr Chocolate Chip

My own mares name is rather unusual too I suppose, she is called Fever! (FEVERSHAM GRANGE)
 
Mine's Syd!

Short for a long Welsh name, it actually rather suits him. We had a very fine TB called Winston too! (Both came with names)
 
Ha ha, some of these are so funny! I love human names for horses too....


Strangest names I have heard are probably Gump, BJ, Kevin and Mr Peanuts lol!!!!

:D
 
Ive known a spanner and a pub. Also whiskers, so named because he was meant to be going to the meat man but had a last minute reprieve.
 
I know one called Stan.

I used to ride an Arab called Cognac who's stable mates were Pernod and Maxx (as in Maxx Cider).

I knew a cat called "ch ch" (you know, like the sound you make when you want to attract a cat's attention!)

I was trying to think of a show name for Jasper, and initially came up with "Jasper's Carrot" until someone pointed out that the announcer would say "Here comes Liz Price riding Jasper's Carrot"!! :p

There are some cracking names on this thread! My friend used to teach someone on a horse called Fish! I've also met a Derdrie (sp?). One here was called "the new one" until another horse arrived then it was called by its actual name! I also ride one called "The Blue Mare" I always tell people off if they shorten it to Blue, that's not her name it's the blue mare!
 
'Dylan'

But 'York Hunt' has to be one of the worst. It doesn't seem so bad until you say it out loud (which I would advise against if you or anyone near you is easily offended.)
 
I know a chicken as in a horse called chicken!!! A mummy again a horse called mummy!!! Sylvia.
Also why are greyhounds given human names or silly names. Our rescue greyhound is called sweetpea. I feel really stupid when i shout her across the field i mean people might think im talking to my husband!!!!! Its also quite embarassing when you take her to the vets and the receptionist asks her name!!!
 
I have rememberd more but of course cant edit!!!
There is a racehorse called peasandbeans, we had a possesed (and she was)!!! Also a racehorse whos stable name was cindy, we had a 2yo whos stable name was Dr Lecter!
