How Do You Pick The Right Name?
Here’s an important question: how do you know if you’ve picked the right name for a horse?
These tips can help narrow down your search:
- Is it easy to say? Some names are great on paper but tough to pronounce in everyday life. Before you become set on a name, make sure it rolls off the tongue because you could be saying it frequently.
- Does it fit your horse? Check to see if the name matches your horse’s personality and appearance before committing to a name.
- Say it out loud. Can you imagine calling for your horse with this name? If not, then it’s not the right choice. Move on and select something more appropriate.
- And finally, trust your gut. Ask any animal enthusiast: when you find the right name, you’ll know it!
