Every mare my grandfather owned he called
Babe. I then realized that he had a bad memory and just about every
female he would call Babe.
Previous names for horses that we had
were:Serena, Misty, Mister, Star, Mariah, Tasha,
Spirit Dancer, Caleb
We have a horse named Scribblin' Mindy (Mindy
for short), One of my good friends has a horse named Morkinic (Mork for
short)...we think its funny when we ride together with Mindy and Mork....the
kids don't get what our personal joke is (nanu nanu).
8 years ago we bought a two year old filly,
her name is APAGE TO REMEMBER. Her barn name was Blossom.
Because she was to be my husbands horse, he just
couldn't deal with the name Blossom. For several months she didn't have a
barn name and we finally settled on Princess. Simply because she was
treated like one...nice new blanket, shavings every nite in her stall, lots of
pampering...well she doesn't get that now and a Princess SHE IS NOT. She
is a very bitchy lead mare with an attitude. Funny how he could accept the
name Princess, but not Blossom!
My total favorite is some friend of ours had a mare
named BITCHY. And she was just that. Well we couldn't have the
grandkids call the horse that so she was renamed to be Momma B. When Momma
B had a baby that turned out to have an attitude just like her the baby got
dubbed, Little B.
