Terrible Nicknames We Give Our Horses

Okay, I’ll bite. LOL

Lifestyle (Callie) is known as Cowey, MooMoo, Moozer, Heifer, etc.

Stylin (Copper) is known as Cop A Tude, Tude, and some other choice ones that aren’t fit for a public bulletin board. ROFL

Livin (Nikki) is known as Nick Nack, Nickers, Sturdy Gurdy (thank you, Peter, for this one).

Mine is too new to have earned any yet… but when she’s annoying I find myself inadvertantly calling her Ginney (after my last rather annoying mare)… everyone else started calling her the Wild One …gee… for some reason but thankfully it hasn’t stuck yet!!..mostly she goes by QUIT IT…
Some of the others include
Beast, Beastie, Big Beast, Beastly for one of the dear schoolhorses
Two Socks (all 18 Hh of him) went by Monster, Monster Mash, Snoccers, Soccers, Snoxie
Worm goes by Wormbo (like Rambo or Worm’s friend Rainbo) or Wormy

My horsie is awesome!!!

I LOVE lop eared horses(bunnys too) can
we see a picture of the Hannovarian
cowser?
I swear I’m gonna own a lop eared horse
before I die.

Caiman’s full name is Caiman Bleu. He has a couple of the usual, generic nicknames like:

*Fat Boy - he has quite the shapely behind.

*Stinky - earned when he spent most of one morning grinding manure into his coat.

*Caim - pretty obvious.

*“You pig!” - he likes to snatch hay and straw from the bales along the aisle as we walk.

I also like to say “Meeeestair Bleu,” and “my leetle flowair” in a French accent (him being Selle Francais). Plus, while this isn’t a nickname, he does trip a lot, and whenever this happens, he can count on a cheerful, “Like a ballerina!” from me .

Cheers,

Let’s start with my gray mare, Ashley: Ashleykins, Smashley, trashley horse (Usually when she’s ripped her blanket AGAIN and my mom has to work her magic fixing it), Ashley Lace (Kind of a combination of her barn and show names) And worst of all Smashleykins.

Okay My Bay mare, Zoe: The ever present Zoekins, Zoester, Zoaster-toaster(Don’t ask, my mom came up with it and it’s kind of stuck) Zip zap zowie.

A bay stallion of my boss, Mystery: This has got to be the most degrading thing for this poor horse, Boo bear said in a high, squeaky baby voice, Sh!thead, and you little b@stard!

Oh, and all male horses to me are buddy, or simply bud.

Beezer: Beez, Beez-Man, Boo boo, baby boy, buddy, smoozy poo, Isha boo boo (don’t ask ) and of course @hole

Elise Haas’ #1 Fan!!!

Cosmo is simply “pony” or “Cosmo Pony” even though he’s a sixteen hand horse. He’s just got the cutest little pony face. Everyone knows him as “pony”. It even says that on the nameplate of his barn halter. And of course I only talk to him in that voice we use when we talk to animals and babies that makes us sound like complete idiots.

Star, who is quite large, has a bunch of names, not all of them given to her by me.
-Porky, Porkster, Pudgy, Fatso, Lard-a**, Orca, and my personal favorite, Billboard. Of course, she also Cutie Pie, Baby girl, Sweetheart…
Then there are the days when she is !@#$%^&*, &^%$#@!, !@##$%%^& and %$#@!&. But luckily she hasn’t had one of those days in a long time. I really do love my horses

Dr. H - read my post - my guys need to work UP to being called “Alpo” - my standard threat is it is going to be generic for you, no fancy label on YOUR can, boyo!

I frequently refer to my accident prone appy as my CRAPaloosa!

I’m not sure my mother even knows my pony’s real name as she has always referred to her as simply “fat horse”.

In college the same pony earned the nickname of “noodgie” for her tendency to nudge people in the breasts! Now when she is good she is “monkey” and when she is bad she is “monster”.

JUST IN TIME a.k.a. Mikey (barn name) is known as:

-Chunker Munkers (all of the time)
-Handsome (When his ears are forward)
-Sweetness (When I want him to be good)
-Chunk (Heh all of the time!!)
-Cuteness (see above)
-Michelle (When I’m feeling really mean)
-Baby
-Pretty Boy
-Mikey McCue
-Dorkness
-Cutie Pie
-Michael (When he’s bad)
-Shnark (When hes being a snark aka resistant!)
-“You piece of crap” (LOL) well…
-“You little shit” (by my trainer jkjk)
-“I’m gonna kill you” lol well the list goes on…
-“MIKEY PUT YOUR HEAD UP”
-MIKEY PUT YOUR EARS FORWARD!! (he does listen to ME when I say that hahaha!)
-“Hey You”

lol Well as you can see, Mikey is well loved. Too much I think…

~Jessica~ & Just In Time a.k.a. “Mikey”, my 7 year old chestnut QH show hunter. Showing in 3’ Children’s Hunters currently w/ The Ethel Walker School.

Jake’s nickname is Captain Quirk–unless you are speaking to his mother, in which case it is, “your delinquent son”.

Rumour goes by a few names. There is of course, Rumours, which is what most of the barn thinks is his barn name… … and other than that I call him Moo Cow or Moo Moo or Rumie.

Funny picture of the moo cow below… people were looking at it on my camera and asking if he was dead!

My horses name is Alamo(obviously I am a native Texan) and for some reason I started calling him Mo, then that moved to Momo. Finally Momo stuck even though all his stuff still said Alamo. Well god know that guys will give you h*ll when they can; for some reason they started calling my poor baby homo just to get me and god know why it seem to catch on for a while.

PS there is a dapple grey percheron named Baby Shawnee in my old barn that during the winter seem to blow up like a ballon and earned the nickname Baby Shamuu sp?

RumoursFollow, there’s a reason why people were asking you if that horse was dead!

Tess, whose real name is Fair Light, goes by Tee, T-Bunny, T-Bone, T-Butt (gee, you think there’s a pattern here?) Also, in deference to her color, Tessie Two Tone. And on those days when her brain is taking a vacation, Bambi.

Gallian >>> Gally girl or Gally bum

Schroeder>>> Scrhrody or Schrodmyster

Dan>>> Dan the man or Danstar

West>>>westmyster or Westie
