RE: [RC] [RC] names for horses - Amber B FortHorse names are funny thing and the way they sometimes tell us what they want to be called. The stories can be amazing. Jerry, the stallion I ride, his secret name is 'Tyrone'. He was dubbed that when he was sent for 30 days to rode in the woods and on cattle after I got him green broke. My friend had a lanky young man riding him and called me after about 3 days. He was so uncordinated (as a 3 year old) that everytime he went to canter with a rider, he would fall down (too busy looking at everything). He skint his head up a bit, but other than that was fine. Then he was tied to the cow pens while they were working the cattle. Jerry decided to untie himself and 'agravate' his neigbor (an older HUGE gelding that was minding his own business). They (the guys) were keeping an eye on him (he couldn't go anywhere). He grabbed the geldings saddle blanket, the gelding gave him the 'quit' look. He kept it up till the gelding had untied himself and decided to 'school' Jerry in manners. He grabbed Jerry by the napp of the neck and shook him till help arrived (for Jerry) to tie them back up. Jerry then decided he could stand tied and mind his manners. They called him Tyrone after that. Now years later, while I was pregnant and unable to ride, I go out to discover that Jerry has managed to break off a front tooth on the top. No idea how he managed it. He wasn't turned out with anyone to get kicked or anything. So now I guess he has the 'look' to go along with his secret name, Tyron the boxer. Amber & David Fort
