One of the most important things you’re going to have to do for your horse is choose a name. That’s right, you can’t just call him Horsey forever. You’ll definitely want to choose a special name that you love and that is well-suited for your horse.

So when’s the best time to pick a name? The short answer is as soon as you get him home. But there is a lot to consider. You can take inspiration from the personality of your horse, it’s gender or color. The most important thing in the end is that you are comfortable with the name and you love him, so take your time. As long as you are happy with the name, it doesn’t matter if it’s brilliant or stupid. Just pick something that makes you feel good.
