Help naming a Swedish Warmblood gelding?

We just got an abuses Swedish Warmblood gelding last night that had been abused and he has no name!!!!!!!!!! He is atleast 17 hh and has a very sweet face. I am going to start riding him because he has a back problem and needs a light rider... What should we call him (show and barn names)





He is also an eventer, so English discipline is what we will show in.








He is also a dark DARK bay

Help naming a Swedish Warmblood gelding?
I've known two Swedish Warmbloods, one looked a lot like yours (don't worry, not the same horse, his owners were too sweet to him and would never do a thing like that) and another that doesn't look like yours. The one that looked like yours was named Hatari and was actually from Sweden, so that could work. The other one is named Prism. Those could be both show and barn names.





I would go with a Swedish theme, oh and Swiss Cheese is actually from Switzerland so that wouldn't work out anyways. Nor would Swedish Fish, although they are awesome!!





The national stud of the Swedish Warmblood is called Flyinge, and after finding out the Swedish word for horse (h盲st) you could put that together and make "Flyinge H盲st" since you are an event rider that would be perfect to hear Flyinge H盲st over the loudspeakers as your galloping through the cross country course! Not sure of a barn name, perhaps Flyinge or H盲st.





ABBA could be another option. ABBA was a really popular band from Sweden in the late 70s, early 80s and many people would recognize the name and know where you got it from.
Reply:I really like the name "Wurlitzer". It's very sophisticated. :) My future school's riding team has a horse named Wurlitzer, and they use it for both his show name and his barn name. If you want something simpler for the barn, however, you could choose any name with a "w": Willy, etc, or choose something completely unrelated.


You might also like to look up Swedish names on the internet and see if you like any of them (even if it's just for his show name). Baby name books are helpful as well.


I'm thrilled to hear that you've adopted a previously abused horse- make sure he gets lots of love! Good luck with your new baby! :)
Reply:I love Swedish Warmbloods! i haven't had the privilege of owning one, but I have ridden one. Try to get to know his personality. However, I love the name Fly Boy (he is an eventer and will be flying!) You could name him a Swedish name such as Adolphus (noble wolf) or Aron (illuminated), Davin (pride of the Finn) Gabriel (strength from God)......there are more on this site:

hope this helps!


good luck with your new baby!
Reply:Don't use a name that resembles how the horse looks, give him a confident name that you would be proud of :) what about Gizmo (Give It A Go) i don't know i just thought about that name and i sort of like it lol i really hope this helps :) just don't resemble looks, maybe do the personality
Reply:Inspector Gadget :) if i had a boy horse i would name it that. His barn name would be Iggy. Kinda like Bob Marley's son Ziggy haha.





I just really like that name so i can say Go go gadget.... canter, jump, trot, ect.





Ha good luck.





Its so great you rescued a horse. I hope he works out for you

Reply:Svenska Pojke means Swedish boy (in the Swedish language)





Svenska is pronounced as it is spelled (both s and v are pronounced), and Pojke is pronounced poy'ka
Reply:The name depends on his personality. So get to know him for a while then figure out his personality.

Freedom's Progress - barn name Freedom


Charles in Charge - barn name Charlie

  1. Have you contacted SWANA the Swedish warmblood Society in North America? He may already have a anem and you might be able to find out more about him. They like to know about these types of horses! Is he branded?

  2. Hi,

    Are you in California? He sounds like a horse I might know...maybe named Lancelot?

    There are two SWB chat groups on yahoo groups; we can find out more about him for you, especially if you have a photo.

    You can email me if you would like to have some help identifying him, or Swana will be a good resource. My email is mary@magpiefarm.com, and I am a long-time Swedish breeder....and, if your horse is a SWB, he probably already has a registered name... so nice you helped him.

    Thanks
