I´ve heard people say it´s bad luck to change a horse´s name? is there any truth in this? I have changed some of my horses names if I don´t like them!

It's fun giving your horse original names. My mom always dreads what name I picked for the new foals. Sancha Mirado Shanico Shevante Color'n the Dark Santavo Cyanto Zyanasse Shetoka Kyavo

Shasta Golden Sunrise, she is a golden buckskin fox trotter. I was naming a litter of puppies with "mountain" names, so she got one too. I call her Shasta. It seems to fit her because she is still a beatiful gold that glimmers in the sun and she thinks "she hasta" have something to eat everytime she sees me.

SPENCER - My 4 year old quarterhorse mare is Spencer. We got her from a friend for 50 bucks when she was just over a year. He hadn't named her. She was what I called a red white and blue roan. She was very mousey and had long ears. She reminded me of a mule in one of the kids books. The mule in the book is named Sylvester... but Spencer popped into mind. It seemed like the name for a clever unassuming type, which she is. She has finally grown into her ears, and is very clever. She is mostly grey now too, with some dapples on her butt. SKIP is a 10 year old APHA mare. Her name on paper is Skip the Price. Isn't that just horrible!? Her sire was Price Tag, even worse! But I do like the name Skip. BOOGIE - My first horse was a big Saddlebred cross paint. We named her Boogie. At the time I was working with this chick who called every body Boogie. "How ya doin' Boogie" she would say with a lispe. So that term of endearment was rolling around in my head when Boogie came into my life. She was very flashy and she really could boogie when she felt like it. SILVER - We had the honor of having Silver, a solid white Ap, live with us for a couple years. He had an incredibly long and thick mane and tail with a lot of silvery white highlights. He would go through anything you asked of him. He was the babysitter. The kids could climb all over him nd he was cool. We painted him like a zebra the first Halloween he was with us. He won a trophy for that at the local kids rodeo. BRUNO is a little mustang that recently moved on to a ranch in Mississippi. I had gotten him at auction and he came without a name. Bruno sounded short, solid and strong. Appropriate for him. It also has a macho sound to it, which he was very much so, until the vets visit! LOL But that didn't change his attitude much. All the mares in the NEIGH-borhood loved Bruno! A stud-pony for sure.

I had one I called Poco, blood lines are obvious. However about 2 weeks ago I renamed him Jarhead, blood lines questionable.

My horse's name is Kindred Spirit. His Jockey club name had Dust in it and his barn name was Dusty when I got him at age 2. I dusted him off and renamed him as to me he felt like my heart horse. He is a wonderful kind horse who reads my mind and often allows me to read his. Spooky in a way but also very much how horses can be, intuitive and great communicators if we just listen.... So anyhow, Kindred Spirit, Spirit for short! Kathy

Laughing here, Evelyn I feel sorry for you!!!! A dog named Bimbo....GEE thought only my Mom did that! Yes she actually had 2 dogs in her life with that name. Though I did have a dog named Stray, so I guess that is even odder....and then there are some odd names for the cats....Memory; Stripes, Stars, C.C (and no admin would not let me post his name!!)
