How To Properly Name A Horse

At the flea market this weekend, I picked up a Wonder Pony Land figure since I wasn't sure what it was. She is a red unicorn with blue horn/hair and a cherry rump design. I got her cleaned up and named her Cherry Icee.

"Ah yeah this here's my 30k horse, Takis" "Ooh Taki? That's cute--" "No, it's plural. Taki*s*"

yesssss! As a kid I used to love watching jumping and dressage on tv, not just because I loved horses, but because those names were so long and so entertaining (a lot of them with weird brand names in them that I didn't even recognise)

gonna name my horse “Evermore: The Theme Park That Wasn’t”

Where I ride, there are some of the "classy" names like Hudson and Picasso and Aria, then we have bangers like Frodo and Bootstrap.

great timing, I've been waiting for the hauler to drop off an auction horse all day. the mare doesnt have a name yet and the only names my friends have suggested are Lowes, Horus, and Horse E

Our fancy race horse name family tree came our great! Dunk on these fools (stud) + Actually, I'm not french(mare) = Actually, I can't dunk. An excellent name for our firstborn- thanks Jenny!

When I was a little kid my mom and I went to a horse race while she was pregnant and we just bet on the horses with the funniest names until one won, and the one that got us the win was named Turkey Lou Pickle. We started calling my sister Pickle as a nickname when she was born and now she owns it. Thanks, Turkey Lou Pickle!

Jellicle horse comes out tonight, going to jump over the jellicle hurdles

Race horse named "somehow Palpatine returned"

Really love the twilight zone horse names, I think star trek tos episode names would also be great horse names.. For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky, and Is There in Truth no Beauty? would both be great

When I was really young, we had a house in the country with a lot of land. My parents wanted a horse, so they found a sudo "horse rescue" and found a farm horse (something happened to the farm and it ended up here). It was a female and they wanted me to name it. The only girl name I knew at the time was April, as in "April O'Neil channel 6 news", so I went with that. April was a really funny lady. She had this massive open space to galop around in, but anytime she had to uh, "use the powder room" she would full speed run back to her little barn and do it in there. Then, she would stick her head in through a window and watch my father clean it up. We also used to go watch the Clydesdale's show once in a while, I miss doing that.

there is so much wisdom in this video

im just watching old rambles but some of my pet names include: cucumber, toaster and goose. im a fan of random nouns idk idk

i had a shetland pony named butterscotch growing up. this video immediately scalped me.

I don't have any real horses to name, but I am writing Fantasy stories at the moment, and have all sorts of animals helping the heroes out... up to this point I've just been naming them after characters from "Game of Thrones" or Michael Moorcock novels... 'cuz I'm nerdy/unimaginative like that!

I laughed so hard at; “Nervous guy in $4 room.” 😂

Horsey McHorseface. 🐴

I know this is late, but I just heard back from the equine genaeologist. My horse parents are "My Bestie" and "Oui, Vraiment."

All my horses are just named Roach.

My horse mom's name was Artax. I don't want to talk about it. Stupid swamp of sadness.

My horse parents’ names were Dodge Charger and Gorgeous

I didn't even know this was a meme, I just genuinely wanted to know your thoughts on horse names. Oops.

I live in Pennsylvania horse country. Every other person here has a horse. Sadly, I'm on the left out list. If I do get one though, I'm riding out on Banana Joe.

Has some Hudson Hawk MTVIA flashbacks during this post. Still, great stuff

I’m going out on a limb and saying the percentage of old-school My Little Ponies fans that actually owned real ponies is surprisingly high.

Did this video go away? I get an error when I try to go to it

I'm so glad you made this! The only horse horse I "have" is the Giant Horse in Breath of the Wild. It's "Dr.Biggles". It has a PhD in Apple Consumption! I hope the name is satisfactory.

Looking at the Twilight Zone titles I think they must have been a source of inspiration for ship names in Iain M. Banks' Culture series.

My partner's family had a horse named Jack. He was gigantic, clumsy, and unbelievably gentle. His sister Lucky was a beautiful show horse. She died in a fire, so her name wasn't really a good fit. Now they just have a stupid thoroughbred named Thunder. It's a bad horse.

I dreamed of owning a horse but I was too poor growing up, but I had horse dolls! Inamed my favoritest horse toy Charliehorse (he is the most beautiful ugly stuffed 90s horse dolly ever), because I heard my dad say CHARLEY HORSE once while in pain and I was like "what a good idea."

Literally my thought process my entire life.

this was everything i wanted and more

OMG I love the TZ title name plan!!!

I saw the preview for this on Twitter and immediately became a Patron.

I would name a horse after a comic book villain.

I looked up a list of the 50 best Twilight Zone episodes just to look at their titles. The only ones from this list that don't work at all as a horse name are "two" and "twenty-two." "Obsolete man" works well enough but I doubt anyone wants to call their prize racehorse "obsolete." Nobody's betting on that horse. Unless ironically naming your horse something derisive is common practice? I'd believe that.

I’d either name my race horse “Nothing in the Dark” or “U2 Sucks.”

also I’m constantly thinking of weird words and phrases and it’s a goddamn shame I’ve never been drafted as a racehorse namer. Puckle Gun. Not On My Watch. Female Pope. The Barter System. Dullard’s Dream. Late Night Talk Show. Speedy Gonzales But Not Racist. Quote Retweet. Quvenzhane Wallis Horse Version. Wicked Wednesday. Tuna On Rye.

I was sort of expecting “Jimmy Scrambles” on the end of the list of Star Wars horse names as an—pardon the pun—Easter egg for the superfans.

i also had one named disco which i thought was cute

i’ve never had the opportunity to name a horse, i’m just realizing now though that one of the horses i road the longest was named lightning which considering my slight obsession with lightning mcqueen it’s kind of wild i’ve never put that together

This video was better than I'd ever dreamed! And Horse Prisoner #4546 has been given a full pardon and will forevermore be known as "Sandstorm." Thanks again!

Hahaha this is so on point its amazing. I grew up working on a ranch and many horses passed our way. My favorite names being a paint named "Parfait", a retired thoroughbred named "Lacee Panties" and a pony named "Wild Bill". We did mostly western riding so we had our fair share of what you mentioned including a Smokey, Scout, Mac, Prairie, and Moe.

Unrelated to horse names: Your love of the "I can change him" trope would be a good basis for a Youtube Original. Although I might just be taking your love triangle pitch and changing it almost not at all.

This is hilarious. I would've never known this otherwise. Ever. +$4

oh my god this finally won

The combination horse names are literally the absolute peak of human creativity.

This video made me hungry

I will name my race horse "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up? His horse parents were Slim Shady and Matt Damon.

Wait, this subject didn't win in the voting, did it? Did 'Big Jenny' just apply her will and do the subject that she intended to do all along? Have we been gaslighted? To answer the question: Mr. Ed

xmas in july

Huh, I hope the comment function works for me again because I need to get that out: one of my friends actually named her jumping horse "Asshole" just so everytime he's taking part in a tournament they have to announce "so-and-so on ASSHOLE". The poor horse doesn't have a barn name. He's just asshole. It's mean. I'm not from the US so maybe you guys have laws in place that prevent a horse from officially getting named a dirty word?

Names for a big strong horse: Silent Thunder, Dark Storm, Striker, Vaguely Sexual

Farfalle DiAngelo

My first horse was this monstrous (really. He was drugged when we bought him and nearly injured my little 12-year-old self many times once the drugs wore off) Appendix Quarter Horse who had Tru blood, so his show name was Jus Passin Tru. His barn name was Mason. And he came with a bonus barn name because he’d been loaned to a summer camp right before we bought him where they called him Moose for some reason.

This is amazing, and I need horses named after twilight zone eps ASAP!! I just rewatched through it a few times and all the episode titles are so A+. I think my personal pick would be Stroopwafel though 👍

Jenny Nicholson = Spinning Jenny x Jack Nicholson

I now want to become a tycoon of industry for the sole purpose of buying an expensive racing horse and naming it either "I am the Night-Color Me Black" or "The Brain Center at Whipple's."

Jenny Nicholson = General Grievous x Nickelodeon

Jenny Nicholson = Generous Benefactor x Nickles from Heaven

This will most likely be the most informative 6 and a half minutes I'll encounter on the Internet for quite some time. And based on this video, I'm naming my horse "Nabisco."

All jokes aside thanks for listening to the fans!

is naming a horse after yourself generally frowned upon?

Surprisingly informative; here I thought this was going to be primarily a joke video, and I come away from it knowing new things. An uncle of mine had a horse when I was a child that came named already, and tragically wouldn't respond to anything else: Cutie. Alas, we didn't have her for long. Under a year. She got rabies [turns out she hadn't been vaccinated :|] and that was the end of that. Only tangentially related: when Justify won....whatever it was they won, an article I came across about it was titled "Unbeaten Justify Wins [whatever it was], and I read the piece because Unbeaten Justify is a SICK name for a horse. Was disappointed to find the horse's name was actually just Justify. Unbeaten Justify is also a great band or Jaeger name.

Jenny you are too good

IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!!!!

I was just about to take a break, wondering what to do, and then here comes this gem :D
