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.

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?
