Tips for Naming Your Gelding or Stallion
When naming your gelding or stallion, you’ll quickly discover that some names suit your horse while others don’t. If you’ve only had your horse for a few days, consider waiting a bit before settling on a name. Spend a week or two getting to know your horse and you’ll have a better sense of his personality and what names will best suit him.
Be sure to follow some best practices as you find the perfect name. Look for a name that you and others can pronounce. Test out names—how easily can you yell them out when you’re calling your horse in from across the field? Try to avoid names that sound like commands. For instance, “Mo” sounds a lot like “No” and “Whoa,” and it might confuse your horse. Generally, one- or two-syllable names are easy to pronounce and tend to make great choices. Otherwise, you may find yourself coming
up with a nickname for your horse and ditching his official name.
