Criteria for choosing a name
An elegant and strong horse name is ideal for noble competition stallions. However, when choosing a name for these stallions, as with horse names for mares, certain criteria must be observed. Competition horses should have a horse name that is as long and unusual as possible. The reason for this is that each horse's name may only appear once in the FN register of the German Equestrian Federation. This criterion is irrelevant for leisure horses. In any case, you should pay attention to the following with elegant horse names for stallions:
- no trivialities
- no funny/inappropriate anecdotes
- age independent
- appropriate to the character of the horse
Elegant and strong horse names go particularly well with male competition horses.
Notice: You can also give a competition horse a classic, elegant name. If the name already appears in the FN register, a number will simply be added after your stallion's name at shows.

frequently asked Questions

When should I give my stallion an elegant and strong horse name?You can give each horse an elegant name. Of course, the name fits best if the stallion also has an elegant character. But even if your horse inspires awe, the names are a good choice.
