Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Addressing the difficult task of choosing an original horse name, this book offers literally 10,001 name suggestions, as well as an introduction with techniques for choosing a horse name. The guide includes name suggestions for ponies, large and tall horses, horses with attitude, calm horses, and color breeds. A separate section features names alphabetically and includes names that famous people have called their horses. Show and race horses cannot copy names previously registered, which makes this book ideal for breeders, new pony and horse owners, and people looking for an original show name.

3.0 out of 5 stars A pretty good Source, October 14, 2002

By A Customer

In respond to the person from WI, i dont know what book they were reading but i dont think it was this one. This is a guide for horse names, not a triple crown story.but maybe i missed some part of this book............?
Anyway this book gave some good advice for naming your horse. Some names really weren't that pretty or creative, but the majority of names were pretty accurate and good. I would recomend this book.

Gave this to my trainer for Christmas. It's got tons of great ideas for names. It also is divided up in chapters with names for horses based on color, personality traits, size and a few other categories.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of names, nothing new, May 1, 2006

By	M. Poepperling "makayla001" (KS) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After getting tired of hearing the same horse names over and over, I thought I would give this book a try for naming our foals. I used this book more for inspiration than actually taking a name right off the page. For instance, I would use Moonlight in a name like "Moonlight On My Shoes". But it would be very hard to register a foal as just Moonlight in a large registry like AQHA. It is a good resource for barn names, nicknames, or arena names but I would not strongly reccomend it as a resource for coming up with a registration name.
