Worst names (horses)!

I have a horse called Turtle.
laugh.gif
i did not name him.
Everytime i tell someone they're like 'what?? why not horse then'
 
Ohh and i forgot- i know one called John, he is about 17.2, very majestic and mannerly, it suits him down to the ground

. I also know two spanish stallions called Anthony and Kevin. I call my big mare Big Bird.

They all have posh spanish names but I love the incongruous stable names

Lina was called MUFFIN when I got her - not really a great name for a leggy grey TB type is it ! SO it morfed to Muffalina and now she just gets called Lina most of the time. + every one over 35 would call her muffin the mule ! I had no choice but to change it

One of my best friends horses is called Gordon another is Apple - One of the best is Drizzle
 
My first pony was called 'Doal' when I got her - because the breeders grandaughter could not say Foal. I changed it to 'Star' - which now I look back was far far worse but I was only 12 (and very uncool

)

The next was Rondeveau - which suited him as he was a monkey to ride.
The others had normal names thank goodness.
 
Well we've had Gem who came with the name Jemima puddle duck, Bob who's name was blob, and i now own Prince who's registered name is Windy Prince - poor boy!
 
Well...

Rainbows Promise (Sidney) a very pretty Arab x
Vestry Royal Star (Winston) who was the most magnificent Welsh Cob ever!
The Silver Wench (Moo) well she is big grey and very much a Tart!! (her grand dam on stallion side was even better - Flirty Gertie!!)
 
Ellie's name was 'Chicka' when we bought her

I hated it, and when my instructor started calling her Tikka Masala I decided to change it immediately

We looked at some very strangely named horses....'Squeeze' springs to mind as a particularly weird one! A friend of mine had a horse called 'Wayne' and another called 'Dave' - very strange.

When I was doing some commentating a couple of years back, here was a horse called The Ginger Ninja which made me laugh. There's also a racehorse somewhere called The G Spot

Knew a show pony called Simon!! My old horse's racing name was Cason City, He was called Frank after Frank Carson, we changed it to Willy!! Froggy! Saw one the other day advertised for sale called Bucket??
 
My new mare is called Fever which I am starting to really like.

Peach Melba
Drachma
OddBod
Barry
Highway
Jack
Bossy (and yes--she was!)
Twiglet
and a Sidney amongst others with "proper" names.

and I knew of a horse called Marmite--ytou either loved her or hated her.
 
My horse used to be owned by a riding school who brought ponies of a dealer. she came over with 2 other ponies.
Itsy small new forest
Bitsy mine LW cob
Teenie big black cob

I kept her name, most embarrassing when at a show she was announced as Titsy.

I used to ride a horse at a riding school called Groovy Baby - that was back in the 70s, which shows my age!

We did musical sacks one day and there was a problem with the music. After the delay his owner ran at him and went to vault on - a bit ambitious as he was about 15hh. But meanwhile he had dozed off and the force of her weight hitting him sideways on caused him to fall over - they both landed in a heap and were ok, thankfully, but think that serves her right for calling him such a daft name
