Tips: how to pick a funny horse name

The best funny horse names come from observing your horse’s actual quirks. Here’s how to find the perfect comedy name:

• Watch their habits. Does he steal hats? “The Hat Bandit.” Does she refuse to cross puddles? “Aquaphobia.”
• Lean into the irony. A massive draft horse named “Tiny” or a lazy horse named “Lightning” always gets a laugh.
• Test the audience. Say the name to three people. If at least two of them laugh or groan, it’s a keeper.
• Check that it works when shouted. “NOODLE, COME HERE!” should make you smile, not cringe.
• Make sure it ages well. A name that’s funny at first but annoying after a year isn’t worth it. The best funny names stay amusing forever.
• Consider the show ring. If you plan to show, your horse can have both a formal registered name and a silly barn name. “Grand Champion’s Royal Legacy” in the ring, “Pickle” at home.
