Funny horse names.....

A School Horse at my barn is named: Ugly.......and we made his show name:
The Ugly One.
He is ugly, though!! He's a grey Welsh Mountain Pony (VERY fat!!) and he
has black birthmarks all over his mouth and body!!

My husband bought a beautiful blue roan 2 yr old t-bred out of the killer
pen at a horse auction for $50 more than the killer buyers had paid. I
named him "Boo", short for "boo-boo", which he almost was! We traced his
tattoo to the original breeding farm and got his registered name -
"Mutation"! We trained him and sold him, where he is one beautiful horse
on a beautiful farm, but the new owners are trying to change his
registered name...oh,well. Elisa

There was a school horse named Bold Noodle
And I always thought that if I had a race horse I'd name him Dead Last
or Don't Bet On Me (too many letters?)
Ben Dover is another good one (say it fast) :-)

At a horse sale we went to last weekend, one colt was out of a stud named
Buck L. Little. My rope horse's registered name is Has To Be Astar- we
call him Goober (picture the one on Andy Griffith).

A horse at the barn where I ride was called Misery. Such a pretty little
TB, too! Apparently her original owners were watching the movie by the
same name the night she was born. Made me want to buy her, just to give
her a nice name.

Being involved in Polish Arabs for about twenty-five years, I've
heard some great names.
Quite often, Poles used to go through an English dictionary and pick
names which they thought had a nice ring ..... hmmmmm ......
*Aspirin
*Chutor ( pronounced hooter )
*Fart
Just to name a very quick few ( imported stallions ).

Okay! I've got one and I did not make this up. A Frenchman told me
about a horse with a name he had in a clinic and his reaction of extreme
surprise. The instructor had not been in this country that long and
thought he had better not ask the man twice what he said his horse's
name was, so he just nodded politely when the rider announced his
horse's name was "Big Dick". But even in France this was either wishful
thinking or a bad joke.........people think of the strangest names!

John T. Klausner
OK. I wasn't going to tell this one, cause I can't change the name to
protect the innocent! But it's too good.
Has to do with a horse trader named Leonard (who sells horses to the
killers in Texas), and an imported horse by the name of Myt. Now, I
don't know how each of you would pronounce this name, but the lady who
owned him (and paid a _very_ high price for him) called it "Meet".
Misfortune overtook the horse(making a long story short) and he was
sold to Leonard. Breeder learns that the horse is there and calls
Leonard. Leonard answers, and Mr. Breeder says "Do you have a horse
there whose name is "Meet"? Silence. Beat. Beat. Leonard answers "
Mister, I have a lot of horses here whose name will be "Meat" in a
couple of days!! Return Silence. They did get the matter straightened
out, Leonard eventually believed him when he said he wasn't a jokester
and Myt was sold to someone looking for just the horse he was and for
once all ended well!

A friend's daughter - think she was about 10 at the time (the
daughter, not the friend!) - had a pony cross of some kind that she
competed Western and English at local shows.
The pony had a barn name of "Red". At one show, with the registration
people scribbling down information to help things move faster, the
daughter was asked what her pony's *official* name was. The girl
shrugged and responded "just plain Red."
Sure enough, during the show, the announcer identified the horse as
"Just Plain Red".

Oddly enough, Funny Face is (was?) the name of a QH stud. We have a
son (Funny Face Too). The snip runs off to the side of the nose, and
is rather distracting to look at. We call our bay gelding "Slick",
because first impressions take in that distraction and don't pick up
on the fact that he's a Sir Quincy Dan grandson with great
conformation. He could easily halter and be competitive. We figure
that is an intentional slick trick, because this boy would rather be
out chasing cows or hoofing it down a mountain trail. Arenas with no
cows around bore him to the point of sulking. :)))

The stupidest name I've ever heard was Try Your Boot On. Where in the

My first pony was named Spit Spot (not by me, thank you), because she
could find the one bit of mud in a parched pasture and roll in it--the
joke was "if you spit, she'll find the spot!"
Quarter Horse names are pretty dreadful. My junior hunter's QH name was
Stringalong Bess, which was strangely appropriate...There also used to be
a stud in NH named Switch to a Taco (switch from what? tequilla???).
I also remember TBs named J. Strap, Cold As A Witch's and Titular Feast.
And the Jockey Club says no obscene names!

Miniature Horses have some of the most unusual names I've ever seen. For
example, one of the most well-known stallions is called Boogerman, (his
foals have interesting names too-I'm a Booger Too etc.) a gelding that has
been competeing at the national level for years is named Dipstick, and on
our own farm we have such horses as Sittin' Bull, Black Tie Affair, and

I once saw an add in The Quarter Horse Journal for a horse named
Willie Te Wiffic, obviously his owners thought a lot of him. When my Arab
cross mare delivered rather unexpectedly on Easter Sunday, pre-empting
everyone's holiday meal, it caused such a ruckus that we named the filly
Waddaruckus. We call her Kelly, for short. A friend of mine who has since
passed away had a novel approach to naming the new babies each year. She
liked to correlate their names with things in the news on the day of their
birth. One QH filly that had Zip in her bloodlines was born on the same day
that Bonnie Blair won her gold medal in speedskating. Joyce decided to name
the filly, Bonnie's Zippy Blades. I thought it was really cute and only wish
that I could be that creative.
My QH's registration papers show a horse way back in her lines that
was named Piggin' String, of all things. I once read of a large breeding farm
that had difficulty coming up with enough names for the number of foals each
year so they saved "interesting" words all year. When the foals were born
they'd throw the words in a can and pull out random combinations and whatever
was pulled was put on the registration. Can you imagine how unusual some of
those concotions could get???

Apparently the JC rejects a lot of names. If your filly is a QH you
could probably name her anything. <g>

The worst name that was accepted in racing in New Zealand was "Hoof Hearted".
Evidentally it was applied for as a joke and was approved before anybody
checked how it sounded for a race caller (try it out!). The approval soon
got rescinded!

Gee, and I thought I was being cruel when I refer the the yearling we board
(since adopted by my mare, since she's weanling sized) and the new foal as
"Big Shit" and "Little Shit."
Gotta think of some names...

There's a horse that i just bought (a BEAUTIFUL dark grey 3 year old w/
lots of chrome) named:
Bootin' Scootin' Boggie
Dionysia Marqueza
Curiously, this theme was a recent topic of discussion in our
household... to add my $0.02...
Whoop-di-doo... aged saddle bred gelding that was a guest horse
of the hunt I rode with as a kid... ponderous, sweet-minded, safe as
houses and rather slow... style in the field always struck me as a
"paint-by-numbers" interpretation of a field hunter. Was rather
unfortunately called "Doody" in the barn.
Point and Shoot... show name of TB gelding shown lates 60's early
70's on AZ jr. hunter circuit. -Very- push button horse.
Donnybrook Hero... enormously kind Anglo-Arab hunter boarded at
Mc Cormick who never caused any problems in the time I knew him. Seemed
kind of unfair to name him that!
Gotcha' Covered... Standardbred stallion out of my mother's
trotter mare... how the buyers of the foal got that one past ATA is a
mystery... wonder if they would have changed his name if they decided to
geld him?
Truffle Eater... H/J pony owned by a pair of sisters whose first
pony was named Piglet. (And she was one, too!)
Fightertown... silly thing we used to call one of the
Andalusian/Percheron crossbreds we used as a vaulting horse, because "he
has a back broad enough to land a jet on, has a fan tail, and flies by
wire. (Vaulting horses go in a surcingle and side reins on a lunge- when
sufficiently complete in their training, they work the circle without a
lunge line.) Many years later, met a rather nice event horse by the same
name.
Maybelline... was the show name of my crossbred mare for the
first year or so, who tended to regularly and horribly blow up
during the class after an *exquisite* workout in the warm up ring.
... that's all that comes to mind for the moment...
Dio & Corey (who isn't certain what the use of a name is, some days)

I remember watching a race in Maryland which included a horse named
Frottage. I was curious about the name and looked it up. Of the two
definitions offered, I doubt that the owners were going for the artistic
one!

Whan I got my Appy mare from New Holand I named her "Anji-San"
Any gesses as to what it means, why I named her that, and where I got the
name from?

If I remember correctly, Anji-San was the name of the Richard
Chamberlain character in the movie Shogun. His name meant "Pilot" so
I am quessing that your horse likes to go where she pleases and direct
her own course.

What was the other one? My dictionary has only the
artistic definition.

A friend of mine had a lovely little QH mare called "Bug Me Too"; she
was generally called Me Too or Me for short. This was ok until my
friend and her father, while at a diner, got into a rather heated
discussion about the merits of breeding Me . . . eileen
