Horse Names

40 items

Naming a horse carries more weight than naming most pets, partly because you will be shouting it across a field for the next twenty years and partly because the yard will judge you. Draw three and say each one out loud at volume: the one that survives that test is the one. Forty names here, split between the dignified and the frankly ridiculous, because both traditions are strong. In fiction a well-named horse does a surprising amount of characterisation for whoever is riding it.
