Nightstrike
"Strong · Bold"
Why Nightstrike?
"Strike," from Old English, implies a sudden, forceful attack. Combined with "night," it evokes the unexpected swiftness of a predator—a bolt from the blue, or rather, from the black. The imagery is of instantaneous, decisive action. This is a title for a phenomenally fast and spirited stallion. He is the surprise closer in a race, exploding from the pack with breathtaking acceleration. His talent is in his explosive reaction time and his relentless drive to overtake.
A spirited palomino Quarter Horse stallion who commands attention — the kind of horse that turns heads before even starting to move.
