What's in a Name?
When it comes to naming any pet, the single most important rule is to follow your heart. Choose something that you will love for years to come because your pet isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Make a long list of possibilities, and then whittle your list down. Choose only names that are non-offensive and easy to say. Lastly, have fun with naming your horse!
