looking to name a horse ranch with something funny or ironic, like a play on words. I read Dunwaukin ranch (say it out loud) and lomoney ranch. I thought both were funny but didn’t quite like the fit. let me know what you come up with
Knew someone whose farm was “The Funny Farm.”

Years ago I had “No Idletime Farm”
I’ve never had a farm and the house I bought shortly before I bought my horse doesn’t meet town zoning requirements for horses. But I thought I’d dream on, a little, so I got a shirt that says Virtual Acres Farm. Nobody ever got it. :sadsmile:

I don’t know that this is funny in the way you mean, but my farm is Flying F Sport Horses. I get asked ALL the time if I know it’s a double entendre.
(I do.)

I’ve heard of a Raisin Hill.
We call our place Rising Gorge Ranch…we used to have 5 cats. Now that we only have one, it’s not as appropriate. Stole the name from Yosemite Sam.

has a sign designating it Splendor Farm.

Windbreak Farm was a funny one for me.
I don’t love the negative connotations associated with many of the punny names I’ve heard.
There is a ranch nearby that is the U Up U Down. The brand is a U and then an upside down U.
There is a place near me called Derry Heir Farm :lol:
I always wanted to name a place “Handsome Does Farm” in honor of my penchant for good do-bes over lookers. A relative had Back Achers Farm. There’s a lot of Neverdones or Done Roamin.
When I was a kid in Arizona a local dentist had a place called “Tooth Acres.” Also nearby was “Almosta Ranch” later (now?) owned by Al Dunning, a top western trainer. Then there was the place I saw in south central Idaho called “El Ranch Costa Plente.”
I was brought up on Long Island, New York. I didn’t own a dog, much less a horse, until many, many years and thousands of miles later.
Not far from our house was a property on heavily wooded land called Whispered Wishes. I always loved that name.
I promised myself if I ever had a dog I would give her that name. Sure enough, after 3 males, I bought an in-whelp bitch. The puppy I kept from that litter (my first) was given the name Whispered Wishes. She turned out to be a winning show dog, champion, and my sister (we were both born on the same day in October!). She really was my Whispered Wish.
When we moved from Hawaii to England, we bought a farm. I would have loved to called it Whispered Wishes, but the farm had a name that we were loathe to change, seeing as it appears on the Ordinance Survey maps.
I’ve seen some funny names before, but can’t really think of any besides the one I drive by on my way to my horse’s farm every day. “Freckled Fanny Farms” take a guess at their favorite breed… haha

There was/is a racing partnership who went by the name of Morning Wood Stables…
My memory is a little off here, but I think it was one of the entities owned by Mike Pegram. Pegram owned champions Real Quiet, Silverbulletday, and Midnight Lute as well as several other successful stakes horses. He was also responsible for the filly named Bodacious Tatas (a good black type stakes winner) as well as Loveontherail, said to be inspired by late night drunken debauchery at the track, and Isitingood (also a graded stakes winner). How he got any of this past the Jockey Club is one of modern racing’s mysteries!
