daft names!

[otaku]

Have just been thinking, does anyone ever call thier horses daft names/

mine have some really odd names and I always get funny looks. These include:

for her:
-beast/beastie
-pony furry (shes a highland)
-whiz
-booboo

for him:
-git
-lil fella
-stinker (hes a little welshie)

No but the farrier once called my pony a name I won't repeat here .

The Shetlands are 'fuzzy felts'!
The big boy is 'Forrest Gumption'
NF is 'MollyNobChops'!

GUMP even!

PookieSnackenburger
FattyArbuckle

(are you spotting the theme there?)

Now you come to mention it I do often call the cob 'Lardy'.

Moose regularly!! or monster

Little sausage

I have "Captain Lard-arse". He is fat "quite chunky". I also have "Dimbo" - he is quite dopey and is just like Dylan off the magic roundabout laid back.

Sometimes I call mine "Mr Horse" . Oh and "Mr Numpty" (often appropriate).

My cob's nickname was Butkin....

My mumsnet nickname (minus numbers) is my horse's show name. At home she is Snotface, Snottybot, Fatty or Cowface, depending on how she's behaving.

Dirtygit normally. DS calls him donnydonnydondon

DD's pony is sometimes called Pinky (he has a very pink nose).

One of the pointers is nicknamed Big Willie, and one of the racehorses is known as Native Bitch (she is one). We also have Tommy Titmunch, Tricky Bear, Chump and Sneezy. All the horses on the yard have a proper name, a stable name and at least one nickname.

I love fuzzy felts for Shetlands, Saggy.

Some of these are great. I'm ridiculed by a friend because I named my little welshie "Iggy Piggy" he has a posh show name on his passport.... but for some reason Iggy Piggy just stuck

moomin because shes a welsh sec b white and fluffy with big eyes.
old hag.... shes 27 still being ridden, still goes like the clappers and still hates anyone under 7 yrs old. has never done cuddles but i love her.

My friend calls her horse "meat" because she is built and marked like a hereford.

My TB is known as handsome ('cause he is) or grumpy arse depending on his mood. One of the ponies gets called posh pony ('cause he is). He is a very pretty and mannered show pony in the making. The other pony is called bad pony-gues what, 'cause he is. He's a bit of an escape artist and would happily run his own dam over for a blade of grass. There all lovely as they are and very different
