Worst names (horses)!

[itsme123]

I've known a few, the most amusing had to be one years ago called Shifty. We'd gone to a rather dodgy local RS and friend had ridden this pony on a hack and been assured it was 'quiet', well, it was fine through the fields, but as soon as we touched tarmac it bolted (causing the rest of the ride to fly into a wild panic too). I assume that was the reason for it's name, because it couldn't half Shift! (and yes, the RS still use it I am told, and apparently it still 'shifts'... !

)

I know a horse called spider, and one called snake.

I also know of one called fortuna whose name has been shortened to tuna .. And thanks to me at a show that developed into tunafish which has sort of stuck.

I used to know a 16.3 horse at a riding school called noodle.

 

[Cash]

I went to see a horse called Hoofy...thought it was quite a cool name actually

oh and one called Moose.
Know one called Sid (he suits it SO well!)
And a lovely grey polo mare....called Marge

admittedly short for Margherita but hey

Oh and one who was known as 'd*ck' in Spanish by his owner as it was a bit of a handful...we felt bad for it so renamed him Chicken

PS. Is it bad that I had to repeat Ardirection quietly to myself in different intonations until i got it?

 

[tikino]

myt 16h2 clydesdalex warmblood was called sugar and i have to say that was a terrible name so we renamed her and now she is skye.

funnily enough, alot of my friends have horses with human names.....

One friend has got has got:- Ruby, Jack, Anna, Danny and Penny. She use to have a William and Tom, and she won't change their names!!

At our yard friends have:- Ruby, Gladys, Dora, Rebecca (name changed), Sarah (name changed), Sydney, Susie, Elsa, Delboy, loads of Harry's, Lucy, Tom and my horse Sammi!!

One of my mates worked on a dealers yard and a pony had it's tail chewed by the other horses making his tail look like a bog brush.... he was called Bog Brush!!

Listen I own a horse called Fany, I mean can you imagine the jokes? "how is your Fany today?" "have you washed/brushed/clipped your Fany?" In the rain, "oh your Fany is wet" etc. Would Elizabeth change her name would she hell!

[Vicki_Krystal]

I know a Radish and i remember Roll Right Rough Diamond!

But the worst!

A pony when i was in juniors called...

'Clip Clop Here Comes The Birthday Girl'

I kid you not!

 

[LizzieJ]

My poor mare is called June! She originally came to me on loan so I couldn't change it and had her 5 years before I bought her so it stuck! My friend has a pony called Fanny too

 

[Box_Of_Frogs]

There's the cutest little Section A gelding on my yard called Darren. He's the best kisser in the universe (no tongues though).

 

[EveningStar]

Lisa! my first pony was Lisa, her show name was Little Lisa lol!
Lisa had a friend/lookalike called Smallfry! though she was the coolest pony!

 

[Fii]

My friend had a pony who was very bad tempered, if she was in a good temper she would put her ears back and walk off, if not you might get a bite or a kick off of her , so her daughter named her Kayfio, after my friend and me, part of each of our names, i don't think it was much of a complement do you ? Oh i have one called Brian and a Sultan

 

[marmalade76]

I tried an ex-recer called Ask Mary.

 

[DivaRosa]

My 16.2hh warmblood is also called Lisa. Which usually results in, "wots your horses name?" Lisa "No, your horses name" and so on. Her show name was Lady Lysette when I got her which I promptly changed to Foxy Lady.

I also have 2 shetlands called Elvis and Scrumpy which I think are cool names. My pals horse is Steven and I know another horse, a grey arab, called Pirannah!!! She is a really sweet mare too!

 

[Enfys]

I had a horse called Useless once.

A park I worked at years ago had riding ponies, we had three almost identical greys, Mark 1, Mark 2 and Mark 3.

 

[apes_mum]

A few of the interesting names I've known are:
Bimbo - for a gelding!??
Doodle
A shetland cross called Brambles, who we nicknamed Brambo, cos she was a terror!
Zebedee
Pig
MaryLou

 

[SonnysHumanSlave]

My old horse arrived from a dealers named...
Centre Parks!!
His name didnt get much better, as i got changed to Billy (as in Billy no mates!!)

used to ride a pony called Friday.
Current 12hh welsh PB is called snowflake.... its skewbald!! WTF?!?! So i call him houdini!

 

[miss_c]

Thought of some more.... Thought about buying a Welsh D called Mark, and I too know a Bruce, although it suits him down to the ground! Also knew a pony called Pony, Mazzie's nickname used to be Donkey (she did have big ears....)

 

[xxNormanxx]

My very handsome fell pony is called Norman lol.

 

[a_e_d]

My lovely Westphalian is Andy. He was Randy when he came to me, and while I found it quite amusing, I got fed up of people's reaction to his name. Didn't want to completely change his name so we just dropped the R. I am used to it now, and quite like the fact he has a human name!! It also though happens to be my boss' name so I do have to be careful when discussing him at work

 

[Loubiepoo]

I've come across a 'Trollop', a 'Huggy Bear' and a 'Golden Pheasant' recently - unfort the 'Golden Pheasant' was a lovely dapple grey!

I used to have a hamster called Trollop. Didnt know what to call her and got up one morning and she had had babies during the night - she wasnt much more of a baby herself, so thought Trollop was rather apt!!

 

[Lexie81]

I have Milly, a 16.1hh Chestnut WB Mare, she was called Squeezy when we got her, how awful!!!
Daughters pony is called Myrtle and it really suits her!!
Someone once tried to sell me a Shetland called Paul Newman!!!!!! Brilliant!

Oh and my YO breeds and her next colt is definately going to be a Colin.

 

[SVMel]

One of the mares I look after was originally called... wait for it.......



<font color="purple">FARAH FAWCETT MAJORS..... </font>

Farah Fawcett Majors...... Oh thank god they changed it

 

[Vetty]

There's a pony on working livery at the RS we go to called Justin - his passport name is Just In Time..... My daughter rides a little bay pony called Julie, and I rode a horrible chestnut gelding called Vince.

One of my friends has a Gelderlander called Hovis - every time we see a big lorry delivering bread my daughter is convinced it's Hovis off to a show!!!

 

[legaldancer]

Love this thread but haven't read all 115 posts!

My boy came with the name Batman - actually it really suits him, especially when he's wearing his Snuggy Hood with ears!

My sister used to ride a Sec A called Belinda, her name was later changed to Sequin - think I preferred Belinda!

Went to see an ex-racer called "Carpets Made In Devon". He was called Fred for short, maybe he was Fred-bare!

 

[Harriett310]

I have had a Lady, 2 Harry's, an Annie and am now looking at an ex-racer called Daryal (by Night Shift ex Darata) and somehow they still managed to get Daryal. I know 2 Jason's, a justin, an owen and loads more.
