Selection Criteria for a Mare Name
When choosing a suitable horse name, you have to consider more than with other animals because of the tournaments. You should therefore consider right from the start whether your mare will take part in competitions or not. If you're just keeping the mare for yourself, you can pretty much give him any horse name you like. The only thing to note is the following:
- Foal names begin with the same initial letter as the parent
- age-independent name
With competition horses, on the other hand, you should pay attention to a very individual name. This is due to the fact that in the official FN register of the German Equestrian Federation, each horse's name may only appear once. The name entered there is then used in equestrian competitions. If your name is already taken, you must
- accept a number after the horse's name in competitions
- keep looking until you find a unique name
notice: Some horse names, especially those of successful horses, are legally protected. Before you officially name your competition horse, you should check it out. In the worst case, problems can arise.
Competition horses deserve a very individual name.
If you are not yet sure whether you want your mare to compete, it is best to choose a long horse name. You can then use this in the competition if necessary. You can then set a short nickname for the rest of the time.

frequently asked Questions
Do horses answer to their names?Yes. Horses filter out important sounds from their environment and recognize them thanks to their memory. Most horses not only listen to their names, but also to other commands such as "walk", "trot" or "stop".
Can I rename my horse?Theoretically yes. However, it may not be advisable if the horse is already used to the other. In the case of competition horses, an official re-registration in the FN list must also be applied for, which entails costs.
