EDIT::
Thankyou to :iconsassyhelkat: for the suggestion of Hot Rod! We went to the show under that name, didn't get past the second fence in showjumping (pretty much expected :XD: ) Got round the cross country cross albeit haphazardly, and came 5th in dressage :P ! Thanks for all your suggestions guys, really helpful :hug:



So after two and half years of owning my horse I'm heading off to my first show in three weeks. A one day event to be precise. Never mind that Rodney can't jump for shiz and tends to crash through and fall over jumps more than actually jump them (HELP ME GOD) the guys down the yard said it would be fun.

SO ANYWAY, Rodney hasn't got a show name. I can just see the announcer calling out "AND AFTER RED DUCHESS AND WHISPERING WIND IS.....RODNEY!!!" Bit of an anti-climax really.

Isn't it bad luck to rename a horse or something? I should do really. Whenever I'm out riding and people come up to me and conversation goes something like:
Awed passerby: "Oh! What a beautiful horse! What's his name?"
Me: "Rodney"
Awed Passerby: *Smirk*

He's an ex-riding school horse see, and there were three of them called Rodney, Albert and Delboy. If you're not from brit-land you probably wont get that reference, its from an old comedy called 'only fools on horses' hence all the smirking.

But anyway, I digress, He hasn't got a show name and I would like some suggestions. All I can think of is "Roderick II" or something, but I think that still sounds a bit silly.

So I'm open to and appreciate any suggestions if you have them, he's a 15.1 hh, 16 year old, chestnut anglo-arab.
Some photos (for inspiration! :noes: ):

And a video while I'm here (what? might as well show him off) watch out in particular to my dad's elegant shout of GO GO GO and WHERE'S THE STOP?

I think the most classic thing to do is to simply add something like Sir or Baron, or something to make it sound fancy enough...

Baron Von Roderick? Cheesy...but hilarious.

Sir Roderick II...I'm not sure, they might come across as TOO pompous...but has potential.

One of my friends favorite ways to make up names for her horses was simply to add, "the (insert descriptive word here)"

For example, Sassy the Silklegged...yeah, she actually showed a horse under that name. >_> Sir Roderick the Red! (horrible, I know. :P)

But yes, even Roderigo or Rodhlann, Rodolfo...so many different types of Rodney.

Good luck though! :D
:icondemonsong:
OMG, he looks like one of the horses I ride at my school. called Filur! They could almost be twins! :XD:

I think Rodney is a charming name;)
Maybe just add a "Sir" infront of Rodney, maybe it sounds more fancy then:p

I'm not good with making up fancy names.. :lol:

Good luck with the name and the show:D

Well, they like catchy names, plays on the real name. Honestly, I hate my horse's show name. It's A Cool Dude. I call him Dude. Can't change his name, either. But, as for your horse's name, first thing that came to my mind is Hot Rod. Lots of people like to use the old titles, I think they've somewhat been overused. I like Hot Rod, it implies fast, sleek, red(which he is) ;D and admired.

Ok, that's my suggestion.

Roderick von Richthofen, von Richthofen is the surname of the Red Baron, but now that I think on it Brits probably won't appreciate it ^_^

Could be worse off with the show name though; My mom had a horse named H-A lifate or something, pronounced Ha-lee-fa-tee... the announcer always called him Halifat. XD They'd have to correct them before the show I think. Makes me giggle thinking about it. XB
