All our riding school ponies have peoples names, jim ethel bob ronnie alfie doris wayne nigel tilly lola amongst a few. Though we do have a livery whose horse was called big dick and still is on his passport this was quickly changed.
I've got a mini shetland called Leonard my cob'called Splash bot gets called other names like Splashy-Moo and boob (and worse when he's naughty)
i used to have a female rat called Evil Keith, her cage mates were Sushi, Sen, Bellatrix, Tailess Wanda, Squish & Sashimi. One of my male rats is called Lord Mort of the Manor.
We also have a border terrier whose nickname is Rat Boy
Years ago I was joking around saying 'steady him, steady the steed' and another lass thought the horse was called Steve!
Every time I contemplated a horse called steve it made me giggle, sometimes proper giggles! I'd imagine it announced, or in a race commentary, or just an introduction. If fate ever throughs a gelding at me he's gonna get called Steve!
