[RC] Renaming horses - Julie Fuller

Jeez, if there was a rule about not renaming horses, I'd sure be in trouble! I think I have renamed nearly every horse I have ever rescued or bought. Some notables:

Lady-Jynxie the Wonder Pony
Lady- Troi
Shannon- Rayna
Calley- Linnea
Lucky Lady (cuz she was born Friday the 13th) Natira, Nat for short
Xena- Six (Seriously, who names a horse Xena?)
Lady- Trudy
Roany- Whiskey
Lady- Cricket
Lady- Sunday
Can you see a pattern here? I refuse to call a horse Lady.
Flirt- Belanna (This was probably THE MOST ridiculous original name for this horse. Spoiled, pushy mare that bucked like a bronc, was 13.1 hands tall, 950 pounds (NOT fat) had a size 2 foot.
Lady-Jesse
I've had two appy geldings named Chief. One became Smiley, the other Jackson
Princess *rolls eyes* - Vanity Fair, Van for short.



Some names that stayed:


Sonny (though I later learned his original name was Popcorn. Huh?)
Muse (she knows it)
Granny (it was the perfect name for her)
Tagger (I liked the name, and the pony)
Barney- I never changed it, though it certainly didn't fit. He was a hot, hot, hot Hackney driving pony who'd been gelded at age 23. But he knew it and I figured I needed all the help I could get!


Names I've always wanted to use:

Chomp. I want to get a huge red mule, name it Chomp, and give it to my ex. He once had a nightmare involving such.

Piss and Vinegar for a driving team. Also: Vim, Vigor and Vitality for a unicorn hitch (one in front, two in back, while driving)

Scout. Della. Fanny.
