Is there a meaning behind the name of your horse…

Tags: ,

Did you ever wonder how some horses got their names? Many are so unique and surely there must be some history behind the name. I think some names are derived from their pedigree and history, while others may just be in their coloring or breed type.

What's Your Name?


I recall seeing ‘BeeMer’ on a horse stall at one farm. I thought that this might be their way of saying that it was a choice of either buying the horse or the BMW since both cost about the same. Apparently, the love of the horse won out.

I knew a farm owner who ran a business of selling horses and NEVER named a single one; numbered them yes, but never named them. That way it eliminated attachment and he stayed focused on running the horse business.

How did you come up with the name for your horse? What interesting horse names have you encountered?

  1. Greetings from Whisper-n-Wind Farm,
    I love the what my grandaughter named her quarter horse mare that she got as an early christmas present. The mare was a rescue of sorts but something she always wanted. She promply named her “All I Want For Christmas”, “Christmas” for short. She sure lives up to her name.

  2. What a wonderful name for her horse – I’m sure she’ll bring many a ‘Christmas’ of love and fun.
