My mare’s name was “Horny Snowflake” she from the Hornby line of horses (with a B there!) and the registry made a typo. The owner at the time of registrtion thought it was hysterical. I promptly changed it after I bought her.

I know someone that had a horse that’s original name was Hungry Mother Fox. Ugh. Really?[/QUOTE]
I think I saw that horse go through a sale once. That name rings a bell.
My own horse’s original name was “Disco Biscuit”. Which is sort of cute if it wasn’t a club drug.
Hanging out at the Saddlebred sales and studying pedigrees has given me a long list of silly names. Some of my favorites:
Suzie Creamcheese ( I believe her dam was O’Shea Can You Cheese by Lord O’Shea)
Cracked Rear View (after the Hootie and the Blowfish album?)
Such a Good Boy (everyone runs out of ideas now and then)
One large breeder (Carl Fisher) used to use a different theme each year. Fabric, musical instruments, vegetables… They gave us World’s Champion “Onion” as well as Rutabaga.
What about that H/J guy who named his horse “totally naked”?
There is a colt racing in Alberta and his name is creative and a nightmare for announcers - Sotally Tober.
I also knew a Disco Biscuit and she produced some decent racehorses, one of which was named Pistnbroke. The same farm also had Oatbin, Strawalker, Squid and others that I cannot remember the names. Wonder if Disco Biscuit is still alive…she would be 28
Topless
Temper Time - we had a personality clash. Go figure.
Shouldrungood - TB racehorse. Every time the owner asked his trainer about a horse’s chance, that was the reply. So that’s what he named the next horse.

Too funny!
I like “Boyfriendontheside” and “Naked” LOL!! I’ve know a QH named “Larken At My Assets” - that one cracked me up!
We had Dusty Beetch and Cameo Beetch, both by Mike Beetch (AQHA). Dusty’s barn name was Sonuva–he earned it!
My mare, who is NOT a TB (so there’s no excuse), came with “Perfect Moment.”
I have to wonder sometimes if the Europeans really know what they mean when they give horses English names. Do they just go through a dictionary and pick words?
Specifically I’m thinking of the warmblood stallion Golfball and his offspring Goofball. Just doesn’t sound dignified.
scratch and tickle no kidding
I recall a Saddlebred named Chester Drawers. That was so clever that I wish I’d thought of it myself.

Does anyone remember the CANTER NE gelding named Horrible Hairy Hog? I always wondered what happened to him. Lovely boy–by the same sire as Blush. Was a trainer listing probably 11-12 years back…[/QUOTE]

Anyone want to give him a soft landing?

Awwwwwwwww. I am all verklempt. :sadsmile:
Please, someone? I am just SO not in a place to take another horse.
One of my very good friends had to put her 26 yr old TB gelding down today so I thought I would share his funny names:
JC: Strippers Zipper (although it must be spelled differently because the only one I can find was born in 1980)
USEF: Snickersville Turnpike
He was a sweet boy and she loved him dearly. We keep threatening to steal the road sign for her here in Virginia but we maybe too old for such shenanigans.
I once knew a pony called Ponyony. Someone I knew told me about a horse named Nodrog which was Gordon spelled backwards. I thought that was pretty bad. This year I have a KWPN colt that needs to have a name starting with the letter J. My sister suggested that given that he was born in June and he is going to be a gelding that I call him Jeunuch. I declined so that name is still available is someone is partial to it. LOL.
Miss Clam Boat — barn name was Clammy,which was even worse!
Famous Frosted Flakes
Pass The Chicken
Princess Fluffy — bet she was named by a couple of little girls!
Miss Dirty Britches — a palomino who had a big birthmark on her hip — made her look like she had a manure stain
Tax Loophole — always referred to as Tax Poophole, of course!
Just A Little Peckernod — ugh, ugh, ugh
A German warmblood at my previous barn had a German name, I believe it was spelled Nüd, maybe? Don’t really remember, but anyways…it was pronounced like “nude” and when his show name would be announced in the show ring by the announcer, it would sound like “rider name riding Nude” :lol:
At a Western barn I used to be at, they had gotten a beautiful new palomino quarter horse, his registered name was “Tyrese Butterscotch”…we just called him Ty:winkgrin:
