Horse Name Inspiration

When hunting a name possessing an old-time quality, there are many sources to glean inspiration. If you’re an old west history buff, there’s a plentitude of resources you can read to refresh your knowledge. Or, in the case you adore old western movies, peruse IMDB to review some classic characters.

Also, if the old English or Irish names are too difficult to say, you could refer to the movie, “Lord of the Rings.” Not only will you get a little help with pronunciation, but you may find one of the characters a perfect match.

Help Choosing The Right Name

Allow the horse to become part of the process. Let its personality clue you in. As a tip, your black horse or dark brown horse doesn’t have to indicate the color directly. As an example, you could call your black stallion, “Gunpowder.” This signifies his color but also portrays a subtle element of an explosive and strong personality.

Conclusion

No matter what name you decide for your equine buddy, you want to ensure it responds to it well. So, select a few names you think suit the character of your horse. Say each one a few times and observe the horse’s reaction. If nothing seems to stick, keep trying until you find the perfect one.
