Tips for Picking a Name for Your Horse
When picking a name, consider your personality and your horse's personality, because a bond between a horse and their human is so special—two become one:
- Coat Color: Is your horse black, bay or brown, chestnut, palomino, buckskin, sorrel, cremello, smokey, silver, champagne, gray, lilac roan, honey roan, red roan, or bay roan?
- Coat Pattern: Is your horse roan, dapple, flea-bitten, pinto, tobiano, calico, sabino, splash-pattern, spotted, speckled, snowflake, frosted?
- Personality: What is your horse's personality? What behaviors define them? Do they remind you of an element of nature or a character from a movie? Maybe they remind you of a famous horse? A famous racehorse? A famous person? Maybe your horse is graceful, strong, bold, goofy, stubborn, fearless, loving, gentle?
- Activity: Is your horse a draft horse? Sport horse? Pony? Western? English? Well-traveled?

that is a great rule! I love it. I think it's only fair!
Ellison Hartley from Maryland, USA on February 11, 2019:
This is such a great compilation of horse names! I have a horse naming rule where if a horse comes from a good loving owner no matter how much I dislike the name I don't change it. I feel it would be bad luck. If I get a horse with an unknown history or a bad situation, I always rename those horses to give them a fresh start!
