HORSE NAMES

Horse names can be difficult to choose! Older horses often come with names. But you may not like the horse's name, or sometimes you don't know what the horse's name is. A new foal will need a name. You'll probably need a registered name and a stable name. Here are some ideas, links and other resources for horse names.

I like two syllable stable names. I find these easier to say and I am less likely to shorten the name further. Before you decide, try the horse name out a few times. How does it feel calling across the pasture? Does the horse name you've choosen sound funny with other words? Lots of horses are named Bo or Beau. But I think it would feel odd to say, "whoa Beau." My family once had a horse named Razz. We always felt that saying we were going to ‘ride Razz’ was a bit of tongue twister.
