Female Horse Names - Hundreds to choose from!

Naming a horse

Naming a horse is no small task—believe me, we’ve done it hundreds of times. Here in Aberdeenshire, our family has been raising and naming horses for generations. From sturdy Clydesdale foals born right here on the farm to mares that arrived later in life needing a fresh start, we’ve seen it all.

Over the years, we’ve learned that a name can reflect a horse’s personality, heritage, or even a bit of humor. Whether you’re looking for something elegant, strong, or a bit quirky, choosing the right name for your mare is one of the first steps in building a bond.

In this article, I’ll share some of the best female horse names we’ve come across, along with their meanings and inspirations. From timeless classics to unique and rare finds, there’s something here to suit every horse—whether she’s a feisty filly or a gentle giant.

So, let’s find the perfect name for your horse—because if there’s one thing we’ve learned at Strathorn Farm, it’s that a good name sticks for life.

Is it OK to rename a horse?

It’s ok to rename a horse. Here at Strathorn, we have renamed quite a few for various reasons.

Maybe you already have one of the same name, so your new mare needs a different name. Maybe you don’t like the name she came with, or she just doesn’t suit it.

Maybe the name on her passport is very grand like “Bramblemills Queen of Sheba” and you don’t feel like shouting that when you go out to the paddock, or maybe she has an unfortunate name like this French mare, .

Naughty French horse breeders called their mare Gros Nichons

The owners son thought it would be funny to call her “Gros Nichons” but the French Racing authorities objected so she was given the English translation of the name, which is “Big Tits”. Hardly something you want to be shouting around the yard 🙂

Pepper the cob. Gypsy cob sticking out her tongue

Pepper, our cheeky Gypsy Cob.

She is called Princess on her passport, but does she really look like one? HARDLY! That’s why we renamed her Pepper.

Do horses know their own names?

There are a few videos on YouTube showing horses coming individually when called, so it can be done. In our experience however, our horses live in big herds, and if you tried to call an individual horse, you get none of the ones you wanted and lots of the ones you didn’t.

Is it ok to change a horses name?

Yes, unless the horse is highly trained to its name like a therapy pony or one of a team of driving horses there is no issue in changing a horses name. Maybe you want a unique horse name, or you want the perfect name with the perfect fit for your mare or you want to naem it after a friend. So let’s take a look at a few ways to find inspiration when naming your new horse!

At Strathorn, we have named hundreds of horses over the years, and not just all the Clydesdale foals that have been born with us here in Scotland, we often rename a horse that comes to us later in life.

Why would be do that you ask? Well, often the horses haven’t been handled much and they don’t recognise their own names yet, or sometimes their names are a mouthful and they have to be changed just so we can say them!

In fact, my dad renamed a Clydesdale to Bert, because his previous owner had called him Boris and my dad did not like the Prime minister of the UK at the time, Boris Johnstone!

Unique horse names – I’ve never met a horse called Maureen

Naming your horse after family members is an option. We have a Laura, who is named after my sister in law, and we have had an Archie and Hamish, named after my nephews. Some names maybe don’t suit a horse though, I have never met a horse called Maureen, but if anyone knows one please get in touch and we’ll post her picture in this article 🙂

Tips for Choosing the Perfect Female Horse Name

1. Reflect the Horse’s Personality and Traits

Choose a name that captures the essence of your horse’s personality or physical characteristics. If your horse is strong and spirited, a name like “Blaze” might be fitting. For a gentle and graceful horse, “Willow” could be more appropriate. Observe your horse’s behavior and appearance to find inspiration.

2. Keep It Simple and Easy to Pronounce

Opt for a name that is easy to say and remember. This is especially important for training and daily interactions. Names with one or two syllables are often more effective and less confusing for the horse to recognize.

3. Consider the Horse’s Heritage

If your horse has a particular breed or lineage, you might want to choose a name that reflects its heritage. For example, a Spanish Andalusian might suit a name like “Esperanza,” while an Irish Draught could be called “Siobhan.” This can honor the horse’s background and add a layer of meaning to the name.

4. Make Sure It Won’t Offend Your Grandmother

When brainstorming names, remember to choose something that you wouldn’t be embarrassed to shout across a crowded stable or introduce to others. Names like “Princess Buttercup” might be adorable, but you’ll want to ensure it’s also appropriate and doesn’t raise any eyebrows among family or friends.
