Best Horse Names For Your Horse. Pick Out The Perfect One! Best horse names? Where to find them? Ugh right here of course. You found the gold mine! I can only imagine how excited you are to be getting a new horse or maybe your first horse. You want to pick the best horse name for your new equine partner. Your stomach tightens into a knot and you feel a tinge of anxious excitement course through your body. You imagine what your horse will be like, all the adventures you will go on, and things you will do together. You want to get the name perfect for this horse, the best horse name you can come up with. Because you will be calling the horse by this name all the time. The name will be engraved on a stall plate, halter plate, bridle plate, saddle plate. If you want to go really cray cray you will have your brushes, grooming tote and tack trunk engraved with their name as well as all the blankets and dare I say saddle pads. People will ask you what your horses name is. The vet and farrier will have written records with your horses name. At shows your horses name will be called out. Your horses name may make memorable impression or not. And of course if you are to show with your horse then most likely your horse will have two names. A barn name and a show name. The pressure to get you horse's name right is real. Even if it's just pressure you are putting on yourself. You want to pick the best name for your equine bestie. Choosing The Best Horse Name For Your Horse So to help you get it right and find the best horse name or names (if you are also going to be showing) for your noble steed. I have created this mighty awesome list of horse names. Choosing a Barn Name: Usually short one word and sometimes two. Choosing a Show Name: Usually two words or more. Many times people use the show name as the official name for documents and vet, unless you don't have a show name for your horse OR your horse has a registered name that you want to use instead. However that is up to you. Registered Name: Your horse may already have a registered name. Some breed associations allow you to pay a fee to rename your horse's registered name. For example of what I did: A mare I used to own had a barn name, a show name and a registered name. I decided to use her barn name as her main official name. Choose your horse's name wisely. You can even have your horse help you choose their name. I will share my ideas for having your horse help you make the choice, at the bottom of this post, below the list of names. About This 550+ Horse Name List After digging around the internet for days and days. These are my favorite hand picked names I have found or made up myself that I think are awesome for horses. I have divided the names into categories which you can see by scrolling down to the list or by scrolling up to the table of contents. So keep reading to find your horses perfect name and don't forget to see the ways you can include your horse in the process of choosing their name.
