What should i name my new horse?

Question

i've always loved big draft horses, and i own a few. i have two belgian geldings, a clydesdale mare, a percheron mare and i just purchased an 18.2hh black shire gelding. my horses names are as followed:
Duchess: dark bay clydesdale mare (17.2hh)
Rufus: chestnut belgian gelding (17.1hh)
Champ: light buff belgian gelding (17.3hh)
Belle: gray percheron mare (16.4hh)

the one i just brought home is a large black shire gelding and i'm not sure what to name him. i want something kind of mid-evil and majestic since he's a descendant of the "great horses". can you help me come up with some good ideas?

btw: he look's just like the horse in this picture.

Answer 23

Well you could choose things from like:

Drake
Dilston
The Prince of Wales
Roland of York
Dalton

: to things that show his personality, like:

Charger, Rocket, Boomer, Abercrombie, Ace, Allstar, Ambition, Ranger, Rebel, Royal Athlete, or Black Beauty if you wanted something like that.

But you said something more middle aged, so maybe something more like, Calvin, Cyrus, Cameo, Caesar or (Czer), or my personal favorite for a big black shire gelding: Caspian.

Just don't rush. Watch him for a long time and learn him, it will come to you. :-) Hope this helped!!

Answer 27

How about Duke....to go with Duchess. Many horses years ago were named Duke after the German, Iron Duke,..... Napoleon,..... The Duke of Wellington,..etc, etc.the list is long and all were massive animals with massive strength, yet underneath were soft as muck, extremely loyal and adored by everyone that had any contact with them. During many conflicts, long before mechanized vehicles were in use, these animals were the back-bone of many armies. They also were invaluable on many farms and today provide great pleasure to many people....

Yeah....I reckon Duke would be good, if only to keep Duchess happy..and he is a full hand higher!!!!
