There’s something magical about naming a horse. We start off as children with little plastic equines that we stable on our bookcases. We give those horses names like Star or Jet. Then we move up to digital models that we pilot through the pixelated worlds of our computer games. We give those horses names like Bramble or Lucky. But when it actually comes down to naming a real live horse, you’ll have to give it a little more thought.

While there may be 101 things that are far more important to consider when bringing home a new horse, somehow choosing the perfect name skyrockets to the top of the priority list. What’s more fun that carefully pondering all of the choices and ultimately selecting the best and most wonderful name? But with limitless possibilities, how do you narrow down the options and make your choice? You know only one name is going to be the right one. So how do you decide?

When naming a horse, you want to choose a name that will be the perfect fit. Maybe the name will reference the horse’s color in some way, or its personality, or its breed or bloodlines. Below, we’ve compiled several different lists, each distinctly suited to different types of horses (and ponies!). We’ve tried not to be too obvious, but if you truly feel that “The Black” is the best name for your ebony-coated equine, you can certainly feel free to go ahead and use it. But for the purposes of these lists, we have tried to move further away from clichés and find creative names that will capture your horse’s qualities and make you smile.

Coat Color Names

Horses are often given names that refer in some way to their coat color or pattern. For example, chestnuts get “red” names like Garnet, Ginger, or Flame. A horse’s coat color is a distinctive part of who he is, so it’s natural to want to incorporate that characteristic into a name. Here are lists of color names that are a bit off the beaten path.

Type-of-Horse Names

Many horsey people like to name their horses something that relates to their breed. Most breeds have a specific ‘style’ of name; for example, Arabians are often given Egyptian-inspired names, while Welsh Ponies often sport Welsh-inspired names and spellings. Here, however, we’re going to take a look at wider categories of horse types instead of individual breeds.

These lists are just the beginning—use them as inspiration!

Names for Horse Pairs

In the special case in which you have not one, but two equines to name (you lucky duck!), the process becomes even more complex because it’s multiplied. Double the trouble, if you will. And if you want to choose names that go well together . . . that’s enough to make even the most expert “namer” throw up their hands in defeat.

So if you’re trying to select two perfect names that sound like they belong in adjacent stalls, what better way than to pick a duo that is already famous? Check out this list for ideas!

Tips for Naming Your Horse

When naming your horse, it can be helpful to take inspiration from traits of your horse or other meaningful aspects of your life. Some names are inspired by coat color or personality, while others can reflect pop culture or history. You can always try on a name to see if it fits before determining which moniker best represents your horse, but eventually, the right one will make itself known.

  2. Left out a lot of good names. My TWH came with his name Smokey. My mini is Strider because he strides right along. I like Beauty,Max,Pie,Lady,Lucky,Bell,Beau,Rocky,Jasper,Ed, Flicka just to name a few.

  5. I love CHIEF,FOR A BUCKSKIN STUD,AND SWEET PEA,FOR A SWEET MARE,AND MARIO,FOR A SPUNKY STUD PONY,AND DALLAS,FOR A SWEET/SPUNKY STUD.(: those are my favorites because my horses are named those. haha!

  6. Nice suggestions. I had a Shetland that was named Peanut and also got a Welsh pony who was white except for her brown head I called her Popcorn.

  7. I have 3 horses with great names. I have “Oh-Be-One” also known around the barn as “Kenobi” (because I’m a major Star Wars geek). I have “Rue Britannia” known as “Renegade” (because she acts all nice and proper but can be stubborn and rejects authority often). And I have “Fate and Farewell” known as “Fetch”.

  8. I’ve had many horses the most resent to back is: Kipy Ki Yo Ki Ya,JJTaffy Miss, To Coin A Phrase, Roger,Spade, Dash’s NSF(No Spots Found), Her Halo Slipped, Fancy ALittle Cash, Fancy’s Sunday Special, Sterling, Latte. And there are more…

  10. I named my real horse Bramble. It suits her. I see it is on your list short list of reject names. Many of your good names are on my reject list.
    I’ve owned over 20 horses in my life time and named 15.
    The best name I came up with was Cameron. I think when you buy a horse it is best to stick with the barn name they know. After a while you might think it is best and the horse knows this name. Most of us don’t much like the names our Mothers give us but we usually just live with it. If the best thing about your horse is the smokin hot name you came up with, well…

  12. I am a model horse collector and one of my favorite things to do is collect interesting names for future models.
    I love your names! 🙂
    I don’t know where you got them, but they are really cool.

  16. What about Tom and Jerry for a nice ‘pair’?
    We have Matthew, Christopher, Henry, George, Wally, Leo, Ellie, Abbie, Ruby, Grace, Jess and Dusty. Then we had until very recently 2 donkeys, Gemma and Fergus – both passed away within weeks of each other. They were very old. We also have a jersey cow named Veronica.

  17. I will be calling my buckskin stallion Esprit, French for Spirit which I thought was a little too cliched plus, I am a huge fan of names that sound foreign, the ones where you feel the need for a different accent or to roll your tongue, things like Javador, Sakura, Sabina or, as I said, Esprit

  18. I had a Palomino Gelding named “Brave Warrior” “Warrior” for short. His mom was Palomino and dad was an Appaloosa. When Warrior was born I used part of his dads named and it proved to be a fitting name because Warrior had a big heart, smart and was my protector. He was the best first horse a girl could have. He definitely enjoyed the spotlight when it came to horse shows, parades, rodeos and trail rides never afraid.

  19. Zodiac themed names are always a fan favourite in my books; growing up I had a bay called Virgo and a quarter horse called Aquarious. I found out a few years later that Virgo is also a Norse Viking male name.
    Also Mathimatical themed names, I’ve always thought that BOMDAS (brackets of multiplication division addition subtraction) and Linear were cute name (as in a linear equation)
    TV show or Anime character names are good to; a friend of mine has a pair of ponies called Zelda and Link, they also had a pair of donkeys called Natsu and Happy.
    Hope this is useful information to anyone

  21. Was the picture of the young girl on the chocolate colored Rocky Mountain Horse doing dressage on the best names page in any magazines? She is my daughter and I was wondering how she ended up on the website. She is so honored and excited and was hoping to get more information about when and where the picture was taken and if it is anywhere else.
    Thanks so much!!

  23. This helped me so much!! I’m getting my first horse at the start of April so I badly needed a name and I’ve gone with “Barnaby”. Thank you so much !!

  24. Thanks for the help! Some of my favorite names are: Starlight, Eager Star, Flaming Glory, Hope, Sea Star, and Bold Beauty.

  26. why are people so mean? i love these name and I love the horse channel don’t listen to these haters love-your #1 horse girl

  27. This was so helpful to me but I think I’m gonna stick with the names : Nevermoore and Raven! Love y’all!

  42. I think all of these horse names are pretty ones, I hope yu guys can make others. I have this chestnut paint on my acreage named dizzy because of how crazy she gets

  43. Sicle
    Malika
    Malik

    These are okay names but I feel there should be more of a variety
    Malika means Queen and Malik means King

  44. I don’t own a horse, but I adore them! I do have a pet desert tortoise that I named “Chasca” after much research. She is named after the Incan goddess of the dawn and the dusk…
    I would name a female horse Chasca for sure! And a pair….well, Dawn and Dusk!

    If you go to various sites involving mythology and ancient cultures, there are MANY names of gods and goddesses that are very descriptive!!!

  45. I have come up with a few stable names

  47. the very first horse I had was named Chief, large chestnut gelding, retired from barrel racing. The first horse I ever got had the name “Big Red” He was a thoroughbred pin fired off the track. I hated the name and decided on “Rowan” which means big, red, strong, and it is a red fruit bearing tree. He quickly learned this name and it suited him to a tee. From the get go I would yell his new name when he was out to pasture, each time he came to me he got a treat, he learned his name quickly. Best horse I ever had. My husband has a palomino and white Saddlebred with a beautiful blonde mane and tail. My husband asked me to name him, we call him “Trace” his show name is “Without a Trace”. He is actually named after the country singer Trace Adkins: big, tall, burly, blonde…….lol

  48. I currently own a ranch and most of these names are often used.
    But I was glad to see some names I have never seen before on a horse like, “Noir”
    or “Passport”!

    I have a total of 23 horses and I can briefly describe about 3 of them from the top of my head.

    We have a small pinto named “Shimmer”. She has a beautiful white/cream coat with dark brown splotches on her pelt.

    I also have twins ( not really, but they act like it )! They are both pretty black Arabians with a white mane and tail and both of them are broke-in. Their names are Plum & Vimmy. The only way to tell them apart, is that Plum has a white blaze and Vimmy does not.

    Again, very lovely list!

  95. Thanks a lot for this website, it helped me find some cool horse names for a story that I was writing! Thx again a lot!!!

    • I LOVE these exotic names, Paris, Dubai and Destiny:)
      Just Ideas That i came up with the other day. Today is my sweet 16th Birthday and i am crazy for Horses so i have been pestering by Dad and Mum For a Horse and they got me 3!!!!! Two are girls (Paris and Destiny) and one is a boy (Dubai). When i was 10 i use to love Lego friends and i would name the Lego Horses Those names. I am so hyper cuz my Dad and mum have finally got me 3 Horses:):):):):):)
      And i am having a week sleepover so my friends can see my horses.
      Hope these horse names are helpful and i love all the names on this Website.
      Paris is Dark Brown with White Socks.
      Destiny Is black all over with a little White Star on her Forehead.
      Dubai is A kind of light brown with a white main and a white tail.
      Love Y’all. Harper:):)

  97. I have a lot of Horses with names like Spartan, Flame, Jupiter, Roxy, Spirit, Dallas, ETC…
    I absolutely love horses they are the best creatures around I think by far.

  99. My Quarter Horse Mare Came as a horse with no name. So I’m thinking America. or because she is full of it and Red calling her Saucey. has to have ey cause all my animal names end in ey.

    • I collect Schleich too! I named my stallion Dominion, my gray Arabian Einthe ( Irish name means “Little Fire” pronounced en-ya) and my Friesian Night-Fire. (named after a book character)

  101. Here are some names,Brownie,Raven,Nala,Nuka,Lexi,Annie,Nashota,Cal,Calli,Ash,Shadow,Clay,Clara,Gypsy,Sorro,Dutchess,Stockings,Addy,Austin,Elsa,Majesta,Mason,Blizzard,Diamond,Proof,Paisley,Heart,Kit Kat,Broncho,Bailey,Tom,Trixi,Trouble,Toast,Boomerang,Sunny,Wes,Wakely,White Knight,Luna,Tanner,Rain,Dakota,Apples,Apollo,Wild,Free,Untamed,Spirit,Cloud,Cliff,Tracker,Scout,Red Raven,Blue Sue,Sicka,Flint,Boulder,Snow,Ice,Winter,Sid,Smoke,Stephanie,Sass,Sam,Beauty,Mollie,Morgan,Monty,Elvis,Jet,Mollie,Sky i picked name from myhorsenames https://myhorsenames.com/female-horse-names/ for my female horse which were also good

  102. I love the names:
    Raven
    Stargazer
    Onyx
    Ash
    Twilight
    Snickers
    Ember
    Phoenix
    Winter
    Fearless
    Warrior
    Ace
    Bronco
    Checkers
    Dreamer
    I love Mustangs, Friesians, and Appaloosas!

  105. I personally like names from books/movies such as the lord of the rings or star wars. Ex. Asfaloth, Strider, Skywalker, Okoye

  107. I like the name “Angel”
    I used to have a retired Thoroughbred that the owner abandoned at a boarding farm, so the owners of the farm gave her to me and my husband. We didn’t know her name and her lip tattoo was badly faded, so we decided to name her “Angel” She was a great horse.

  109. I love these names but I am an old TV show and book nerd. I like Rob and Laura for a pair (from the Dick Van Dyke show), Gilligan and Skipper (From Gilligan’s Island), Also Harry, Ginny, Ronald and Hermione. Mix ’em up anyway you want. Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter are good ones too! Tobias and Tris, from the Divergent series, Alex and Aaron from The Unwanteds, or Alex and Sky. Oh and Aaron and Kaylee. Alex and Aaron’s little sisters, Thisbe and Fifer. Katniss and Peeta are good. Or for two Females, try Katniss and Primrose. I am a big fan of “Fablehaven” so I would totally name any new horse pairs, Kendra and Seth, or Kendra and Bracken. I also love Les Miserables, so Cosette and Marius are perfect!
    If you have any trouble coming up with the perfect name for your horse, pick the name of a character in a movie, book or TV show that matches your horse’s personality!

  110. I have 2 horses. My pony is named Princess. She thinks she is always the star of the show. My Black Lippizan is named Frank. He kinda has the his blaze kinda looks like a Hot Dog :). You could do names of like what kind of blaze the horse has. or if it has high socks on his feet, you could call him White Socks. (socks For a barn name)

    Otherwize, Great names!!!

  114. My Beautiful Silver Akhal-Teke Horse
    His Name Is King Duke & I Will Always Call My Horse Duke & He Is Definitely An Alpha Male & Duke Is Name Of Strength .
    The Reason I Titled Duke As King Duke
    My Sweet Duke Deserves To Be Treated Like A King . I Love My Duke .

  115. I think horses are brilliant animals. They are one of the most common uses for therapy. I should know cuz I have three horses of myself Penny, sugar, and Patches. people should start treating horses with respect because horses get beat up sometimes because people just see them as animals with no feelings but really they are one of the deep down sweet gentle Giants.

  122. These are my favorite: Phantom, Rover, Midnight, Cal, Crystal, Tatami, Ares, Liberty, Gemini, Capricorn, Cupid, Dasher, Peppy, Lil’ Rose, Crest, Key, Minty, Mystery, Missy, Lucky, Champ, Zip, Star, Sky

  123. These are great horse names, I hope you guys think about adding more because they’re so cute! I have an Arabian that I’m trying to name (he’s a toy, imagine how serious I would be if I had a real horse!) and I was going to go with Bolt or Cash, those seem to fit him. Hope anyone reading this has a wonderful day! Stay away from corona!

  130. I had an Arabian mare for a couple of months and her name was Skylark. I personally love the name for a horse with a lot of spirit, but that also can be sweet.

  131. These names you have put here are great! I personally like any name that does not sound something like what you would name a human, though sometimes it may sound nice depending on what the horse looks like. Stay safe!

  132. I’m really interested in Greek/ Roman mythology right now, and I was thinking that something like Heracles/ Hercules, Theseus, Jason, Perseus, Achilles, Prometheus, Odysseus and Aeneas. And for a girl maybe Psyche, Amara, Aretha, Althea, Hela and Reina/ Reyna.

  133. i have a horse named jasmine. and my moms is filly. these are my names i like

    buddy
    ollie
    otis
    max
    cash
    oppolo
    rodeo
    bentley
    wesley
    breezie
    pepper
    scarlet
    lady
    posie
    brinley
    saidie
    pheobe
    and more.

  138. I am 53 and have had a number of horses and ponies. A really fast Welsh was named Scooter. A total BRAT was named Frisky. I rescued a skin and bone Mustang and named her Shya because she was so shy.

  146. some epic names like: Hero, Einthe ( It’s Irish and it means “Little Fire”) Venture, Ozark, or Flyaway. Good pair names could be: Black beauty and Ginger, Spirit and Rain, Storm and Rainbow.

  148. I think – this is just a random note, though it maybe useful – that naming a horse after their character or looks, would probably be the thing that would suit them most

  149. I love horse and am very sad because I can’t even imagine what it’s would be like to have a horse because I can’t afford a horse for me but I have 2 guinea Pigs and 3 baby guinea Pigs I have to take care of all by myself now but I’m still happy for them to.

  151. ive got 2 horses azuka and tank azuka a dapple grey and tank a hefflinger i thought your nams are cool i named one of my sheep one of your names!! ?
