With show names, I’ve always been against other people naming my horses.
It’s harder to name your own horses than someone else’s, but it’s a more personal touch if you can pick a name that means something important to you.

Just remember to pick a name that is easy to spell and pronounce.
We have a horse that has a Norwegian show name, and doing shows with him is insanely frustrating because of how much they butcher his name.

Also, don’t pick a name that you’ve heard before, or just sound common. Last show season, we had three horses with the name “Firefly” as their show name. It was a mess.
Also try to avoid long or too fancy names. Especially the ones that make you sound incredibly cocky about your horse.

Edit: Before someone flags me for not assisting with the name.. I’d totally use his name to my advantage for a Star Wars reference. Han Solo’s Copilot, anyone?

Don’t you usually follow the theme of his breeding lines? Shouldn’t he already have a registry name? What’s the name of his dam and sire?

If he is a male Hanoverian, then the tradition is to have his name start with the first letter of his sire’s name.

For a gray, I suggest Revanant.

Another name that I have always fancied is Saltheart.

If you want a German name, think about Donner Ewige – which means Thunder Everlasting in German.
