Actual QH names

[Lori]

We bought a mare who was named Andora Pandora, after a resteraunt or something down near Fredricksburg. Pretty mare, gross name. Lori

I love my fat pony!

I actually kinda like the way AQHA does the naming system and that people try to incorporate the parent's names. I have three Appendix mares and their names are terrible. However, they all became mothers this year thanks to Sonnys Hot Jazz. The foals names are Mick Jazzer, Brighten Sonny, and Sweet Dreams Sonny. I don't like the Sweet Dreams Sonny that much, but the colt's mother is Xeroxes Dream Maker. You just have to be creative with the names; IMO some of the better names are Island Fever, Lucca Brassi, Sunny Tonight, Crimson Hot, Keeping the Image, Sam Francisco, and Jazzanova. I think the halter horse people come up with the best names.

One more thing, you can tell if a horse is Appendix by the color of its papers. Appendix's papers are yellow and a permanent papered horse has white papers. For an Appendix to obtain its permanent papers, it must earn a performance or race Regist or Merit. A performance ROM consists of earning 10 points in open or amateur classes or for a race ROM, having a certain speed index (don't remember what it is.)

Funny how they seem to live up to their names. I went to a clinic once where the problem horse brought in was a problem because she wouldn't stop jigging. Her name? Jigabelle. Guess it's because it's what we THINK of when we say the name...Can't HELP it, imo.

I used to start foals and exercise QH racers when I was in my teens - a few of the horses in the barn were Tacky Bugs Badger - Tacky Bugs Flash.... different variations of Tacky and Bugs.... I wonder where those horses are or if they are gone...hmmmm

I just placed an AQHA mare named Tis A Goodie. That is very cute. They call her TAG for short.

I have a Thoroughbred named Chicken Lips. No one can top that.

I had a qh named Tiger Glo Joe. He moved like a warmblood but he was only about 15.2

Horse_poor,
Lopin Slow was bred and shown here in Colorado, and recently his people moved to Wichita, KS. He is a really nice mover, and pretty laid back. Did all the low headed pleasure classes with patience. The babies I have seen are very nice. The same people (Myers)have a junior stud that will be coming up named Tails I Win. He was an outstanding baby. I thought of that name for my friend, the breeder! He is by Coats n Tails.

Ah yes, QH names are great..
I have a grandson of Rugged Lark (Heza Irish Lark, by Easter Time- how horrible is that?). Whenever people ask what his name is I'll reply "Heza Irish Lark" and they say back "Irish Lark?", no, "heza Irish Lark", huh???

And my mare is Typically Te (a Te n Te and Sonny Dee Bar mare), and her son that I named is Real Cool Ice Te (sire was Ibea Cool Skip by Ima Cool Skip).
And her other baby by Intimidator Lark (son of Rugged Lark) was named Independence Lark. (or Larks Independence?) I dont know where she is now though.

[Law and Horse Sense]

Back in the 1970's there was a Quarter Horse registered with the name "Rob Bick," which is the name of my husband. I discovered the horse's ad in a back issue of The Quarter Horse Journal.

So I excitedly told my husband. He wanted to know if the horse was a famous stud. Oh well, I had to break the news to him that the horse bearing his name was a GELDING.

True story.

Hey all you QH people. Where's Mirabella, Ima Box of Chocolates, Hurricane Warnings, and Ba da Boom Ba da Bing?

I'm not crazy. I'm just a little unwell.

We have the great pleasure to feed and care for Runformefreddylee. He turned 28 on Feb. 2 and still jumps 3 x per week, not over 3' anymore.
How about "What Luck's Gay Chick"

I like the way they carry on a family name. I have Totally Te Bars (Totally Teed & Miss Chilli Bars)

[Dunhorse]

The absolute worst QH names that I have seen are: Yeast, a HUS gelding. A Good Poo, WP mare (Makes me think of the owners naming her foals things like Itza Floater or Cant Flushit)

I absolutely hate my buckskin mare's name, Czarina of April.

I named my silver grulla appendix filly Etched In Platinum. It fits because she is a shiney light silver color.

I also like the name my amber champagne colt's breeder gave to him, A Sip of Champagne.

God forbid that I should go to any Heaven in which there are no horses.

My large pony's name is Handcock's Cash Kate, but my coach's name is Kate and I used to have a stall beside another Kate and that equals too many Kates so we call her Diva and that's what she shows under

[FLAbreds]

There was a Qh gelding at my barn named "Ten Dollars More" because when the lady bought him as a no name yearling the gentleman selling him told her "It will be $10 more for his coggins". So the name stuck!

[MsM]

A lot of the QH's Ive known had odd combination names. The added parts of any famous ancestor into a name that made no sense. Kind of like "Jet BarDeck Cody" and "Skippa Poco Impressive"
There used to be a QH breeder named Riker near here. Put Riker into all the names so had names like: Imglad Ima Riker, Heza Riker, Gotta Bea Riker etc.
I only owned one QH with the odd name of Hy Flay Day.

[blue reed]

There was a cute little QH mare at one of the barns I boarded at, and her registered name was "Ms. Cream of Wheat". Barn name? C.O.W. or just plain Cow. Felt so bad for her...

Mine is a pretty standard QH name, Blue Reed Gunsmoke, or Blue for short. I guess I got lucky judging by all of these bad names on here!!!

I've had 3 quarter horses:

Dodger's Honey Dust (a palamino) People at the annual fair show would approach me and ask if he was sponsored by the Dodgers (baseball team)

Rebel Passer - who is definitely not a rebel. The Passer come from Barpasser. He's one of the last foals from the late, great Barpasser. I'm sure he's proud to wear that name.

And finally Go Slow to the Bar. He's by Go Slow Zippo by Zippos Pine Bar. Even though he was roayally bred to be a pleasure horse he wasn't happy going slow with his head down. So now he just became a child's first hunter. Go Slow to the Bar is now happily jumping around (sort of slowly) with his kid. The little girl is so pleased that her new horse's grandad is a Breyer model! Can't wait to find out what Whiskey's hunter name will be.
