I’ve always laughed about how appropriately (or inappropriately) a name can describe a horse.
To name a few (famous and not famous) options….
Butterfly Flip

Appropriateness (out of 10): 8
I mean, this mare had such grace and effortless float to her. Butterfly flip sounds like an ice skating maneuver.
Chill R Z

Appropriateness (out of 10): 2
Talented, agile as all heck. Chill, this horse was not.
Catch Me

Appropriateness (out of 10): 7
Yeah, I’d need someone to catch me too if I rode a hunter that jumped like this!
Small Affair

Appropriateness (out of 10): 3
If you count multiple National championships and that style “small”…
Ligist

Appropriateness (out of 10): 3
Ligist is German for “hooligan”. I don’t know about you, but when I am called a hooligan, I do not have that level of care toward my job.

Tango

Appropriateness (out of 10): 10
Beautiful mover, emblematic of partnership…. I buy in. I am also calling my own bias.
Any notable names from your own lives? Either because they are super appropriate (or not)?
ahh mare made it ❤
