Your horses nicknames?

My riding horse is called Tyler (stable name) but is most commonly known as Chubs, chonker or chonkadonk. My pony is called Heather or heather po. My miniature is called Vanity, but I call her Mini V. And my rising two year old is called Orion, but I call him Little Nug, as I got him when he was 8 months old. He’s the biggest on the yard now so it doesn’t really fit but he responds to it ?
 
Olly is also known as Ollybobs, Pumpkin, Poppet, Dumpling, Knob head. Usually in that order (starts nice and polite, then a bit pleading, then when that hasn’t worked, a trifle insulting!)
 
B2 got called many many expletives yesterday after he bit me and was just a total a******e. B1 is Bert, but gets Berty or Berty Bassett. He's also known as the favourite child. New livery calls her mare allsorts I'm never 100% sure what's she's talking about. ?
 
Little WHW Sheltbad is currently on

"expensive lord sh*tland"

At present.

The Hipo gets Big Boy or Porkie... at the minute we are on Porkie as he is getting a bit of a grass belly, we will need to address that!
 
Archie is interchangeably known as Archieparch, Monkey, Chunk and Victor Meldrew. When I bought him his passport name was Andy. I hated it (it just wasn't him) so changed it to Archie but somehow started calling him Monkey a lot, I have no idea why. When I finally plucked up the previous owner in his passport, it turned out to be the livery yard owner - his owner disappeared owing money so she passported him (in the days when passports were just becoming compulsory), sold him to re-coup it - she said she too hated the name Andy so called him Monkey!

Monty is Mr Montague, Monster Munch (or just Monster or Munch) or Big Man.
 
I have a shetland that my niece and non horsey mum always called 'little pony' as she is tiny compared to my big cobs so now that seems to be her name! People get annoyed that I seemingly haven't named her. She has one but 'little pony' has just stuck!
 
There was a girl on a yard we were on once & she had a really foul mouth, her swearing was awful. I think her horse went to his grave thinking he was called 'Shit Head'!

This I find bizarre, there's a person in the village who keeps letting her rabbit escape and then posts on social media about it calling it 'shit head' almost daily to the whole village.... I have no idea what its actual name is! People wouldn't do this to people or kids so why animals. Even if its a complete joke its not a good example to set for others at all....
