One terrible registered name

[Macnas]

I was going through my paperwork and realized that my 3 y.o. I'm taking to a show tomorrow is named "Mr. Poco Peppy Leo". I'm not sure I can show a horse with that name. It's just too awful.

If I want to sell this horse to regular showing people, not just AQHA people, it's probably okay to give him a different show name, right? I suppose his name means something to QH people and might gain attention, but I'm afraid it might make everyone else laugh and point http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

A name that fits... hmm... Maybe I should call him "Climbs Through Fence Without Tearing It Down," or "What Are You Doing On My Porch Again?" or "I Can Untie Any Knot On Earth."

[Equitational]

I've seen worse names. http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/no.gif

[Taken By Storm]

In the QH world, that name, though terrible as it is, would say alot for the horse because of the bloodlines it shows. But if isn't going to be shown in AQHA, I would change it in a heartbeat. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I never really liked how stock breeds name their horses, my one QH is registered as So Hot So Cool http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

[Lives2Jump]

My friends QH is registered as Jodi's Secret Date, lol she hates it

[BarbB]

If you ever sell him to somebody familiar with QHs, by all means tell them his registered name.
Otherwise I would change it for a show name.

Stock horses aren't the only awful names.
My OTTB's JC registered name is Peaceful Skier.
*barf*
I refuse to make him go out in public and be identified that way.
It was a terrible attempt to combine sire and dam. Sire is Speedy Nijinski and dam is PeaceTime.

[Macnas]

My OTTB is Amarillo Elbert. After many years of hiding that name, I ran into his breeder and asked him what on earth he'd been thinking. Apparently he went in shares on the breeding with the original Marlboro Man, a guy named Elbert from, yeah, Amarillo. And was so grateful for the capital that he named the horse for him. Sadly, Elbert never received any publicity through the horse, because I would never dream of showing him under that name.

[toosane]

A worse name for a QH, "Wilhemina Dustbuster." He belongs to my trainer, who will never show him under that name. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I showed my QH in hunters under a lot of different names including "Amtrak" (for his tendency to land from a fence and bolt off - pretty much like trying to stop a freight train since he is 1600 lbs.). I also planned to event him under the name, "Le Grande Poule," ("The Big Chicken") because he hates water and would never get past a water obstacle.

I would only use the AQHA name if showing in AQHA-sanctioned shows.

It has a nice ring to it, don't you think? http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[good booie]

My QH's registered name is Tee Array Lark. I really think that name sticks. But for hunter showing which is what I do I changed it. I don't think it makes a difference under a different registery as long as you have his papers.

[Macnas]

Okay, so who wants to name him? You have an hour...

Edited because I got side tracked. I had black Arab mare who's reg name was Ali's Blackdiamond *gag* and if that wasn't bad enough, her previous owners were calling her Jasmin *vomit*. And she was a nasty, mean little b**** too, she was a Jasmin the same way I'm a Southern Lady http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/lol.gif

I love Viper's reg'd name. It is Viper Too plain and simple. I LOVE LOVE LOVE his dam's name also. Her name is Surely Humble who is by a stallion named Humbolt. Viper's sire on the other hand is Blushing Bug http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif and get this, his grand sire is http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif Bugs Alive In 75 http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

I did consider "I Can Tear the Metal Siding Off the Barn", "The Door Frame is No Match for Me" and "My Giant Hooves will Crush Everything in Their Path", but somehow I think that "Bentley the Barn Destroyer" has a certain elegance to it and clearly defines his purpose on earth.

I feel strongly that a horse should have a name that truly reflects who they are. http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/winkgrin.gif I learned this lesson when I inappropriately named my hunter "Just My Style". He really should have been named "If You Do That Again You are Going to the Meat Market" or "I am Never Riding This Awful Beast Again".

[Macnas]

So no one is going to take me up on my offer? Come on, name my horse! I have to give my ten month old a bath and put him to bed, I don't have any energy to put into creative thought...

Watchout! I named my filly Delilah because ever since watching Spirit I thought that would be a good name for his mom & my filly looks like her.

k, I'm done. Can you guys tell I love the name game?

[MistyBlue]

I bought an APHA gelding last year from a friend. After the papers changed hands I learned Max's name was Ima Cool Skippa. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif I've since learned a tad about AQHA and APHA names...so now it makes sense to me. It is neat that hearing the name you already know a good portion of the horse's lineage, but they sure do sound funny at first, LOL! I can see why he had the barn name Max...the only other name that would fit him would be Ima PITA, LMAO!

[sagebrush]

Try having one named CriCry

[Party Rose]

Oh how, oh how did I know before I even opened the thread that it was going to be a QH???? http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

[petesperson]

Bugs Alive in 75 could just be the all time worst name ever!

My newly purchased registered paint is named Tramps Dude (no possessive apostrophe, alas). I felt bad for him until I researched his family and learned he has a full sister named Classy Litl Tramp...poor baby!

[Hopeful Hunter]

don't feel bad...my first and much loved and missed (he died almost 5 years ago) first OTTB was owned by me with the appropriately haughty name (in honor of the NJ stable, yes) of Lord Stirling. When I tracked down his breeding I learned my silver horse had been born a chestnut roan out of My Saucy Gal and named....are you ready...Strawberry Sauce. I swear, if you said it you could SEE the poor thing's ears hanging....At least my OTTB now had a decent JC name - Asherman - and I still use it for his barn name (well, Ash, aka A$$ when deserved), although I show him under my company name.

[missgrey]

i used to work at lord stirling!

[Macnas]

Woohoo, Nauset, you're the best! I'll let you know tomorrow. Just realized I have an assignment due in an hour... thank heavens class is almost over because college and show season just do not mix! I'll have to mull over these names on the way tomorrow morning http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Know Reason]

My QH's registered name is Knowtorious Captain. It souds scary- before we bought him the owner changed his show name to Know Reason, so he has a reg. name, a show name, and a barn name.

[pahunterrider]

My 2 OTTBs have terrible registered names, Shootie and Send In The Girls. The 2nd one they called Girls. He's a gelding, no wonder he has a complex!

[fourmares]

My broodmare's registered name is Runaway Go. I had a TB named Bally Did It, I knew a TB Mare named Dark Eyed Sue... obviously none of them showed under their registered named.

[Little Indian]

Out After Dark

[Peggy]

Houdini?

Or how about "One Terrible Registered Name"?

Cool's registered name is General Putnam (he was bred by the newscaster of the same name). He would have been better named "Stands in Rain," "Rolls in Mud," "Watch This," or any number of things.

[JumperCrazedZTK]

Sorry guys but MY horse takes the cake with bad names!! She was registered as CLOTHESPIN!! I mean what kinda name was that. I broke out in laughter when we went to see her.. lol http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/lol.gif She actually isnt anything like that name. lol Shes actually sweet, athletic and gorgeous. Just shows you how some of these TB names are messed up. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

[Horseshowaddict]

My old horse's (I leased him) registered name was He is Our Ticket. I dont think anyone ever showed him under that name. His show names have been; Fine and Dandy, Southern Dancer, and No Strings Attached.

I just couldn't bear to show him as his registered name....its just too umm race horse-ish (he was a racing bred QH).

[Silver_Lining]

My OTTB's registered nam is Quick to Pieces. Uhh what the heck does that mean!!!???

[Oakleigh]

Back in the 80's I bought a TB mare with the name Fox Earrings. What the heck is that? She was the foundation mare for a line of performance horses that I have Dutch, Holsteiner and Oldenburg, that are all going premium. I'm on my 4th generation from her.

One thing they all have in common is Boy, can they jump!

TBs have some of the weirdest names. I think it has to do the the Jockey Club name rules and there are so many of them that it's easy to run out of ideas. When I register them, I have to send in 3 possible names. You never know which one they will pick.

Oakleigh

[Dancing Lawn]

I read on another board, that some kid has named their pony "Gold Member". http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

I've always wanted to have a team of horses, called: Admit Nothing, and Deny Everything. http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/lol.gif

[MRedmond1502]

I used to have a morgan who's registered name was Bald Mountain Bochuss, I rode a TB named Pretty Perky Patty, and my TB's name is Gold Enuf to Keep. I don't know who comes up with these sometimes.

[pwynnnorman]

My all-time least favorite name was an ApHC (world champion contender or super horse contender or something like that), named "IM A BOOGER TOO".

[GoneAwayFarmCT]

When I was in my teens, I worked at a TB racehorse layup facility and dealt with a mare named Hamburger Patty.

That was just wrong on so many levels...

[glfprncs]

You gotta' wonder about those people who write the possible names on the registration sheets...sometimes I wonder what they've been drinking or doing at the time they make a final choice.

Some of my past horses have been named:

King HoHo (Registered Quarter pony)--we renamed him Al Capony.

Chim Chimere--makes me want to bust out into Chitty Chitty Bang Bang songs.

Ty's Best Man--this one was a jocky club TB, never raced. His barn name was Buster, so we called him Filibuster for his ability to want to 'negotiate' every time we tried to do something new.

Soes Ahead--OTTB, ran his first race at Belmont, and lost by 42 lengths. So he was NEVER ahead. Called him Riley, and since my dad loaned me the dough to buy him, I called him A2/C (airman 2nd class) Riley (my dad was in the air force as a young lad).

At one time, I had a horse I was riding for some friends, who was named Enchanted Dagger. I called him "Simply Dagger." I thought I might begin a trend, and have a Simply Getty, Simply Cecilia, etc., but it never took off.

As far as favorite breed names though, I'm gonna' have to go with the Trakehners. The 'fahrt' line is/was a strong bloodline, but I'm sorry, I'd really have to think twice about having a horse with fart in their name.

[nightsong]

It's a fine name.

[PalominoMorgan]

Name game:

Nothin' but trouble
Catch me if you can
Here today, gone tonigt
Hittin' the town
After Hours
Lost in Space
Breaking the Law
Out of Bounds
Can't Keep Me In
Free at Last

[HiJumpGrrl]

So yeah, the QHs have some pretty terrible names. but OMG, the arabs and half-arabs might give 'em a run for their money.

case in point: my current half-arab jumper's registered name is "King's Annointed". *VOMIT* he shows under the name "Slim Shady" since his barn name is slim http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[LulaBell]

I used to ride a big ugly dappled palamino gelding named...Lemon Wedge. Barn name of WEDGIE. That's horrible.

Used to be a paint mare at my old barn...Texas BarB Express Rose. hmmmm.

Also an amazing paint geldig I used to know (used to clean up in the AA's on our Texas A circuit) with his registered name as...DialsCherokeeUno. Makes no sense to me. He showed in the hunters as Bypolar Bear and that fit him perfectly!

[Bugaboo]

I have a Registered Pinto mare and her name on the papers is "FL BUG" http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/uhoh.gif What kind of a name is that???????? So she's known as Bugs around the barn, and her showname is Sunset Boulevard. It suits her personality and is way easier on the ears! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[*andi*]

Spuds Sprocket. Worst name EVER

[OakesBrae]

I just saw one on I think it was...equine.com named..."Flying Chicken". Now before y'all lambaste me, the people selling her said - it's a terrible name!!! I can't seem to find the ad now - but she looked to be a nice mare.

[tegotong]

One of the thoroughbred yearlings that I looked after is named BC Bud. He was born in BC of course!

[in2Lopen]

My new QH's name is ok. He's Son of a Grand Slam. However, his Grandam was named Jail Bait http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

[good booie]

LuvMyMares

I don't think he is directly out of Rugged Lark. His grandfather is Spanish Array who is out of Skippa Lark. There is quite a bit of Skipper W behind that but no Rugged Lark from what the pedigree states. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Know Reason]

One half-arab I used to ride was named Weed. Some people thought it was cute, but I thought it was a horrible name.

[DreamerFlys77]

Whee. My first post! http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/winkgrin.gif

I actually like my horses name, it tells alot about his breeding and its pretty spiffy (I think so anyway) it's Schemi'n Dreami'n. He's an appy by the way.

As for awful names, my friend has a little qh gelding named Sweet Doc's Hobie. EW. Sure the Sweet Doc is fine.. but what is with the HOBIE? It makes me laugh everytime.

I personally like those wierd, exotic type names, and when there one word its great. I really don't like those long names, there just to annoying http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

[Justamere Shadow]

So... how bad is my APHA colt's name? Sire is "Page of Color" (I'm assuming it's in a medievil sense" and dam is "Miss Cook." His name is "Cookin Up Color", barn name Stewie.

Pip geri pip geri pembo! I'd completely forgotten about that song!

John (now Renaissance) was registered with the Jockey Club as Intrepid John; as he went back through several generations of Johns (All Done John, John Alden, Speak John, Prince John) this wasn't too bad, but some of the horses he raced against? Fourleggedy Beastie takes the cake.

I still think that the worst horse name in existence was the one I read about in Equestrian magazine a few months back. Horse had been named Pete's Horse. The new owner was changing the horse's name (don't we all understand why?) But what did she change it to?

The Horse Formerly Known As Pete's Horse.

His barn name is Jeffrey, which I thought was ok. I didn't change his barn name, but he has a new show name, Basin Street BLues. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Nauset]

So Macnas, have you picked out a name for your boy?

[Hands Down]

My first quaterhorse's name was
Barbarella Moon (gag me) I changed it to Promise Me. It turned into Promise me you'll jump all 8 jumps this time please???

We toyed with idea of calling her Malibu Barbie, but I just couldn't.

[Macnas]

I'm going with Clever Escape, I think. Don't want to go with a name that makes him out to be too awful - he's a sale horse, after all http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

By the way, he was a jewel at his first little show. Went in two flat classes and came out with a second and a third. Would've won the hunter pleasure if he hadn't whinnied: "WHERE ARE MY FRIENDS!? ACK!!"

I thought of some more bad names:
a TB named Holee Nolee. My boss: "They didn't have Molee available so they gave us Nolee. Isn't that cute?" http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

and we have a beautiful QH mare named Two Bit Date. I'm not even sure what that means but it SOUNDS pretty slutty.

[Inyureye]

Or Great Escape, it has one less syllable than "Clever Escape", sounds greater, and rolls off the tongue in the winner's circle just a bit spicier!

[Penthilisea]

Poor mr. H's registered JC name is Noble's Lil' Falcon. HE AIN'T LITTLE, He's My HORSE!
He's out of Noble's Lil' Girl by Imperial Falcon.
I've showed under a few other silly names but since we arent currently showing he just goes by Harvey.

[LAD]

Macnas - great choice on your name.

I think my TB has the all time worst registered name - Serpent Ruler. Come on - who would name a colt "King of the Snakes?" http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/no.gif

[cgray0983]

No No, my TBs J.C. name is worse : "Pulpit Rock Road".... So we went with his barn name P.R. and now he is "Phat Ride". Cause he's a fast little jumper. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Macnas]

Mm I like "Great Escape" also but I am a big fan of the word 'clever.' And he IS clever. He's brilliant. He's scary smart. So it fits.

[hunt_jump]

That's ok Denali, my last OTTB's registered name was Southern Spider. It didn't even have anything to do with either of his parent's names. I'd love to know if it actually had a story behind it. I can't imagine just picking that name out of thin air (even if they were thinking of the orchid) http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/uhoh.gif

[oneequestrienne]

My first horse was "Match Point", barn name "Junior", show name changed by trainer to "Made in Japan" (switched from hunter to jumper)

Second was "Mustard Top" (TB by Mr Mustard out of Topette), barn name "Max", show name changed to "Mr. Max" by trainer.

Then "Here Comes Harry" (named after anxious breeder waiting for foal to be born) I liked the name, but my trainer and mom changed it to "Unspoken"

[Nauset]

My first horse's Reg. name was "Valid Lupin" http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/dead.gif!
Second was "Seascape Morning" which I actually like, but didn't show her under.
Current horses was "Market Survival".

[completelyme]

oh, my tb's registered name is wonderful. "megan the charmer"... i guess the person who named him didn't realize he's a MALE... and then when i bought him they were calling him 'roger dodger'... nope. now i call him 'Hudson'... it's his barn and show name, and it fits
ashlee

[buschkn]

the last horse i owned was an OTTB named "Apt to Contribute". How cheezy is that? He obviously didn't contribute toooo much, since i got him and turned him into an eventer. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif Now named Roman Holiday, b/c I like the name/movie, and he has a little roman nose. Think his sire was Attribute, so an attempt to use it, but jeesh.

Guess naming 50,000 horses a year would cause you to end up with quite a few duds.

Like Clever Escape, also like Great Escape. Either would be good.

[BustersMom]

Bull Dog Three.....now there is a winner for a registered name. The only place we use it is at the QH Congress. Otherwise he is Capital Gaines, aka Studley.

[1-800-Dial-A-Distance]

I have "Sunday's Beyond" and I've been in barns with "Senor's Sunday Punch", "Steamin' Stacy" "Zero For Brains" "EB's Lil' Snickers" "Snortle Chortle" and my favorite. "Pinky Fluffy's Lil' Cookie Wookie" Yeah, the interstate checkpoint where I had to give paperwork did not take me very seriously.

Ok, I swear I have a 1600 lb QH and yes he jumps. I am quessing on the weight, but I'll bet he's very close, he weighed just under 1500 when he went to Tufts to get his stomach scoped 2 years ago and he's since gained at least 100 lbs.

A horse I worked with and showed little a couple years ago was "Ima Dance Hall Queen". She was a registered appendix, and someone who knows quite a bit about QHs said she had good breeding.

The cool one, our OTTB is "Code Wind"

[maxamillian]

My appendix isn't THAT bad, Try My Rules. I show him under it, because I totally lack the creativity to think of a show name. Barn name is Taz, which I like because I can twist it into a whole bunch of different nick names like Spaz, Tasmanian Devil, etc.

hehe, there's some crazy names out there!

I knew this one TB who was registered as General Robert DT I think..I called him The General instead..http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

And I think this one TB at my coach's barn is registered as Tinroof. Poor horse!!! One of the worst names I've ever heard.

Ha, I can relate. My GORGEOUS 3 y/o tb/appy was christened "PASHERFORASECRET".

BAD that is trashy and inappropriate to name a horse. are you aware of what it means? and if you are, what about it makes you think 'champion show horse'???

[regalscot]

My OTTB's show name was Watch Me Now and his barn name was Harry...which aren't TOO bad I guess, but I ended up changing both!

[Janet]

when she was a junior (late 60s, early 70s), my sister had a TB whose name was "Gay Rebellion". She showed him as "Gandalf the Grey".

And we were told there was another one named "Gay Romance".

Most of the others have been OK. Meadow Lark was a registered QH, nothing wrong with the name except that she was VERY un-bird-like.
The others that came with registered(TB) names were Daisy Clipper, Spy Illusion, Derby Day Dancer (the only thing wrong with that is that you immediately KNOW that he must be a race bred TB, which isn't always the right "first impression"). I forget Magic's registered (TB) name, something about Anchovies I think. Maybe Anchovy Pest. That is pretty bad.

[Blinky]

Anchovy Pest! That is the worst yet.

My OTQH now turned Hunter has the registered name of Reckless Dozen. Never did understand that. Why would you name a horse that people ride Reckless? Yes, he is shown under a different name.

[Bensmom]

Ben is "Heza Pelican Bay" Huh? Doesn't make sense to me at all. Changed it -- he shows under "Longneck Bottle."

Buzz didn't have a barn name, or a registered name when we got him. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif Guy had just called him "The Thoroughbred" (He raced QHs on the bush track nearby and bought Buzz to see if he could outrun the QH - no registration necessary. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif ) I found the lady that owned him when he was born (she'd bought his mom already bred to add to her Appendix QH breeding operation and didn't need the TB baby) She had his baby pictures nearby and sent them to me -- she also told me that they'd called him "Buzz" because he buzzed everywhere as a baby. It fit.

We named him "Repeat Offender" as his show name, and boy, has that come true! http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/lol.gif I might not do that again . . . http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Rocky]

I used to own a QH gelding named "Tipped in Rare Silk"...sold him to one of my teenage students...his barn name is Bob so he shows at the hunter shows as "what about Bob"

I also own a TB who's JC name is Bagel...it kind of fits him so it has stayed...

[Hasty]

Rocky, I hope Bob doesn't know his real name...he might be insulted!!!! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif


My old TB's name was Growl Kitty

[AngelEventer]

We once had a horse named "stinky moedel" Thats just terrible... even if he did stink sometimes.

[LilBayTB]

My old quarter horse Lola was registered with the AQHA as Triple Thrill Lil...doesn't that just scream 'hooker'?! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif That was promptly changed to Dangerously Low when I started showing her (she was 15.2 and a royal b*tch). My new OTTB came with the name Mr. Seldon, which will definitely be changed, just don't know what to yet.

[Brio]

let's see....
some of the girls at the barn would be:
Purple Beetlejuice
Hickory Zinger

some we ride with are: So Tight She Squeaks, Nick n Jess Olena, or Woody Roan Bar

my gelding is Royal Silver Cara. all is fine except that Cara part (pronounced like Kara). poor guy, they here his name over the speakers and ask when i'm done how old my mare is. (we'll be showing QH so no point in changing it)

[duct twiner]

one of the ladies at the barn told me a great story....

her old horse came from ireland and the previous owners had wanted to name him after a town there... so his name was dingle! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_redface.gif

her (then, not now) trainer wouldnt even tell her the old name for years, for fear it would spread and then people would take to calling him all sorts of s**t

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bensmom:

I groomed a TB eventer once whose barn name was Knock. I always assumed that was an Irish reference, because otherwise why would you call a horse that? His show name was Persistent Rain.. now that's very Irish, come to think of it.

[camohn]

Vandy back on page 5: Did your horse come from PA? I scribed at a show about 8 years ago and there WAS a horse there named Reject. I remember it well cuz it was such a terrible name for a show horse!

We have had some doozies for names but THE worst one is a recent arrival. He is, of course, AQHA. When we bought him his name was Hombre. Thats not so bad. Until we were looking at his papers on the way home and I started snorting. My husband looked at me funny and I was writhing in my car seat. His registered name?

A Fist Full Of Hombre.

EEEEEW! http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/dead.gif http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/sigh.gif

[Vandy]

Camohn, as far as I know, Reject was in Colorado for a number of years before I got him last year. But his sire is "Cathy's Reject" so amazingly enough there are probably more "Rejects" out there. Needless to say, this is NOT the name I show him under!

Lol at "A Fist Full of Hombre", maybe I just have a dirty mind? I almost bought one a few months back named "Frederiction" - that would have been changed right quick!

[tbtula]

My first OTTB's name was Don's Barb http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif I hated it! THEN my other MARES name was Pay Uncle...what is with the masculine names for sweet little mares?!

[showjumper530]

The pony that I train is registered in the AQHA as "Sinba Brudder." Let's just say I'm not a fan! Instead, we show him under his barn name, "Granby."

[dunlapl]

I had a TB jr. hunter in the 70's - registered name Slippery Jack!

He gets the "Bugs" from his momma, and he really did come alive in 1975...it was that year that he won or finished second in most of QH racing's greatest races at the time, earned more than half a million dollars and he was named champion. Pretty prophetic of his namer, I think http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[vaNewbie]

There was a horse in the AQHA Journal recently named "Dancing By The Truck"

Mr. Poco's starting to sound better and better... http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Thoroughbred1201]

My hunter that I had for many years was registered as 'Smokin Joe'. I called him Tradition for his show name.

We had another one in the barn who was the sweetest horse imaginable - not a mean bone in him - who's registered name was 'Definately Evil'. Go figure.

[hunterprincess]

my qh's registered name is Doc's red neck, and his show name is Standing Ovation, barn name buddy
my old paint horse's reg name was Sir Pooh Cat other wise known as cat pooh

[mst]

we have one here whose jockey club name is trucker. you can only imagine what we call him sometimes!

[spotted mustang]

My horse's registered name is "Rock Hudson" http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

I look forward to showing, when we'll be announced as "here comes Miss Spotted riding Rock Hudson".

Hmmm...maybe I should show him as "Mel Gibson" instead? http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[barngirl]

There was an Appie at one barn I was named, "Oh He's So Shiny". I think that is the worst name ever!
My guy goes my Michelangelo, which sounds grand, but he is barely 16.1hds, but he can jump the moon.
I owned his half sister for a while and I thought her name was cute, as it was a sutle play on her parents name. Her name was "Tiara", and her sire was "Three Crowns" and her dam was "Be Bright Lea". Tiara was quite a tom-boy, and the name really didn't fit her, so her barn name ended up as just "T".
I have thought of changing my horse name to "My Idiot Savont" He can be brilliant over fences, but last year ended up with five stitches in his shoulder from running into his stall doorway too fast and three more above his coronet band when he caught himself running the fence line ( he also found an Artery!!!)... I wonder if the NA/KWPN will let me change his registered name???

[katirobinson]

I knew a Thoroughbred registered under

"Donuts For All."

They showed her as Croissant!

[Diva98]

My first horse was a TB registered with the Jockey Club. Her name was Chat's Brat - her dad was Royal Chat.

I liked the name and she had always shown under it so we kept it.

People always thought her name was Jack Sprat though - if they were just listening to the announcer.

[Calumet'sDream]

My TB's registered name is "Squaw's Tomahawk", ack. The squaw is part of the barns name, and the tomahawk is because the white on his face is shaped like a tomahawk. I never did like the name, he was called hawk for short and he's too sweet to be a hawk. His barn name is Tommy and his show name is Tommy Boy because he has the personality to fit. He just has this adorable, "love me" way about him. I must admit though, I still keep in touch with his trainer and the people who took care of him and you would have thought I tore their hearts out when they found out I wasn't using his registered name for show.

I just can't.. bring myself.. to do it. http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/dead.gif

[pwynnnorman]

My old stallion's bottom line seemed to have a tradition of really JC bad names. Heaven knows why they perpetuated it: Very Witty, Miss Witty, and then his, worst of all--Witty Boy. Yuk!

[peedin]

My friend has a TB mare. The mare's sire's name is.....Can Opener. The worst name I've ever heard.

[1177398]

About 20 years ago, a friend of mine won a Saddlebred filly in a drawing. The breeder, knowing that this filly was going to be raffled, wanted to let the new owner choose a name but needed to have her registered before the raffle. She put on the application for name: No name at all. Guess what? The horse's papers came back with a name. No Name At All. Apparantly, ASBA wouldn't let them change the name, so she got stuck with it. The cutest part? Her barn name became No Name.
FYI for all of you AQHA and APHA folks out there with horrible names-
You can change the horse's registered name if they have not competed in an AQHA/APHA event, won an award, started in a race, earned monies, or has had any registerd foals.
For a fee, of course. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[mademoiselle]

My horse's JC name is 'SKI' and shame on me because his barn name is Ski and I show him as Ski.

Everybody thinks that I'm a freak.

My gelding's QH name is Favorite Lena Leo... which we had to suffer with in the years we did breed shows. He's had a few names in the Jumpers. http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/yes.gif
In his case, the Lena and Leo are good bloodlines... but the Favorite was just the name of his breeder, who apparently tacked it onto all of his foals' names.
OTOH, my TB mare was registered as 'Six Stitches'... nothing to do with bloodlines. Our only guess was that it was from a)some foalhood injury, or b)from her Caslick's (sp!?) sutures...
Awful!

My equitation horse's registered name was Gary Mena. Which i thought was really bad. It's a play on Irco Mena (his sire)

[Gravie]

As many others have said, I think it would be best to just change his SHOW name, not his registered name. Most of the time horses don't go by their registered names and many people don't even know them. Your horse can be registered as Mr Poco Peppy Leo or whatever it was, but you can show him as anything you would like, and he can have a totally different barn name.

Personally, I think you should keep his registered name, however much you may hate it, so that IF you ever need to sell him, you have your options open, and that will make for, prospectively, a better sale, having his bloodlines in his name like that.

I don't know. I don't think you should worry about his registered name that much. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif It's not important unless you want to sell him, and, like I said, I think you should keep that option open, and just give him a real awesome show name. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Oof. My guy's Jockey Club name is "He B A Runner."

His grandsire is Alysheba, so they just took off the last four letters of Alysheba's name to make the most embarassing name possible for a Louisiana-bred thoroughbred.

And they jinxed him too. He is the slowest thing on four legs. He wouldn't even canter for the first month that I had him off the track. My trainer had to throw dirt clods while I flapped my legs against him. Embarassing.

My other friend owns a TB called Zircon, which isn't as bad as some, but she's not exactly in love with it, either.

[Jumpers21]

My OTTB mare is registered as BRACKETS. Who the heck came up with that for a name, and how?? Actually, a better question would be what the heck was the breeder/owner smoking when they came up with that name?

[camohn]

Don't recall if I replied to this older thread earlier and don't feel like cruising all 9 pages to find out. My husband's AQHA gets Worst Name award with A Fist Full Of Hombre (ewwww! what an icky thought! http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/dead.gif). My daughter does not like the name of her Quarter Pony though we actually thought it was cute. He is Two Spot Doc. He is Doc Bar bred and has 2 spots. She did not think Doc was a cute pony name and re-named him Carrot as he is a bright orange chestnut. That works too and it's her pony. She can call him whatever she likes.

I had a TB as a junior who was registered as "Doctor's Biscuit." Can't get much worse than that. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif Dam was War Biscuit (direct descendant of Man O'War and there was a Sea Biscuit connection somewhere too) and he was bred by a doctor which is I guess how they came up with the name.
