Terrible Nicknames We Give Our Horses

[creseida]

Cressy’s nickname is “Doo-Dums”, for her profuse production of fertiliser, and which becomes “Stinky Doo-Dums” when she is competing with the entire herd of cattle across the road for highest volume of methane emissions in a 24 hour period… (please make sure your gas masks are adjusted properly before entering the danger zone).

She is also known as “The Hooting Idiot”, when she stands at the gate and hoo-hoo-hoos at me to feed her hours before dinner time. Silly pony!

What I do, I do for my horse, and thus I do for myself~me

[MsRidiculous]

Charlie is: Charwee, Pooter-head, Handsome Booooooooy (say it in a squealy old-lady-talking-to-a-baby voice), Wittle Bay-Bee, Smart One (for the not so smart moments), Bad Horsey, Stop It, Ding Dong Head, Butt Nugget, and Fart Knocker.

I love my horsey! Really I do!

You had to ask this, didn’t you Portia?

Stormy is “Old Man” when he is being dignified, “Polish Prince” when he is being demanding, “Bubba” when he is being a duh, “Grampa A**hole” when he is being that and “You Handsome Man” when he is being cute and loveable.

Promise is “Princess” most of the time, “Fuzzy Numb Noggin” when she is in full TB mode and “That Mare” when she is in Spring or Fall season.

Hennessy only had one nickname. She was “Your Imperialness” all the time.

[MsRidiculous]

Oh yeah! How could I have forgotten Charlie’s first steady nickname: Grump-a-lump!!!

[wishfulthinking]

my pony Dia is usually Princess, psycho pony, sweetie, or fatso. my horse Joey is horsey, rolly poly, fatso, big boy, joe, mr. lazy@$$, and we sometimes call him gabe (our horse we just sold)

[Clive_s_Mom]

usually, it’s Clive-Monster, or Monster for short. Though, when he’s being cute, I call him “little man” (an inside joke, he’s over 17h).

Heehe - though, like I said, my mood dictates, so sometimes it’s names not appropriate for posting in a public or FCC-regulated forum.

I just threaten to call 1-800-ALPO. That’ll bring em’ around. Yah, right?

Silly Mommy, I believe your horse must have a been a cousin to my gray mare. Love those radar ears.

Other nicknames for him are:
Choc-O-late
Dennis the Menace
Chocolateshitinski (with emphasis on the shi+)
and the latest, probably from the bb is PITA PONY.

Tiger Bay’s usual nickname is T-Bay, or T.

Both on not good days would have me barred from the board if I spelled them out. I’ll just abreviate and you can figure it out.

You GDMFSOB. Please don’t bar me!!!

[pinkhorse]

How about “Boo-Boo Lips”? A loving nickname for one of my teacher’s home-growns.

[MissD]

One of my friend’s ponies is a little plump, so we call him Fat Pony, Fatty, Flubber, and stuff like that. Her mare is psychotic but a great jumper, so we call her Pega-Satan.

<BLOCKQUOTE class=“ip-ubbcode-quote”><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> the Red Flame (given his penchant for racing around his turnout) <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Oh that reminds me… Until my friend sold her black jumper, he and Robbie (blood bay) were pasture mates. Occassionally they would engage in horseplay and horse races which were better suited to 2 year olds than distinguished middle age show horses (Hah!).

These occassions would prompt me to remark “Oh, look, the Black Stallion and the Blood Bay Stallion Fight For Dominance then Race Across the Island” followed by much then as you watched them do their level best to remove expensive horse shoes.

[havaklu]

papered name - Megan’s Song
barn name - Meg

other assorted titles -

Mega-phone (dubbed by so tired-used when I’m calling to her and expect nickers because I’m bearing treats)
Mega-death (when she is fresh)
Hussy (when she is in heat and near any “boy” horse)
Princess (when she is sweet-her title of choice)
Saint Meg (when she saves my bu##)

[Tosca]

Tosca aka Toscer, Kiddo, Bratface, Bratty, Monkey (face), Tosca Wosca…

Draco aka The Drake (a la Seinfeld)

[OlmosHeaven]

Dolly, the bay mare, is usually The Wicked Witch of the West. Often B****, occasionally Hag. (Is it any wonder that we have, well, issues?)

Her half-sister, the nice one, is Savannah. I call her Sweetheart and Pretty Girl.

I have more nicknames for one of my cats: She’s Domino, aka Polka Dot Kitty, Cripple Kitty (she limps from a kittenhood injury), Squeaky Kitty and Best Kitty.

[Snidgie5]

My old jumper Opulence aka Christy was affectionately known as Stinky or stinkers
Cosmo is known as Moo Moo, Schmoo, or if he is bad Moo Cow or Stupid Poopy Head
Bud was known as Bud-bud, Spud, Stud Muffin, and if he was bad- Butt
Mirage didn’t stay long, and never really earned a nickname, though she was threatened with Purina Pony a few times…
Abby was called Abu because she looked a little like that Monkey in Aladdin

[Applesauce]

My old horse, a dun pony was named Applesauce. I used to call him “Ooples”. (Don’t ask)

Horses I have now:

Jax-JaxJax, Son, goofball, *sshole when he’s bad.

Caleb-CalebBoo, Caaaaayleb (when I call him) and big boy.

Guess I’m not too original except for the Ooples thing. I even got a nameplate for his halter with that on it.
