Criteria when choosing a name
An elegant and strong horse name is ideal, especially for noble competition stallions. However, when choosing a name for these stallions, as with Horse names for mares also, pay attention to some criteria. Competition horses should have a horse name that is as long and unusual as possible. The reason for this is that every horse name im FN register of the German Equestrian Association may only occur once. This criterion is irrelevant for leisure horses. In any case, you should pay attention to the following with elegant horse names for stallions:
- no belittling
- no funny / inappropriate anecdotes
- regardless of age
- matching the character of the horse
Note: You can also give a competition horse a classically elegant name. If the name already appears in the FN register, a number is simply added after the name of your stallion in tournaments.
