In Canada, what do i have to do to change my horses name?

Question

I adopted him and i dont really like his name too much.
Anyone know what i would do?

Answer 1

If the horse is your property, you may name him/her anything you like. If the horse is registered, you may need a submit a form with the new name and change of ownership - ask the organization from which you adopted the horse for the procedure there.

Animals don't seem to recognize names as labels for themselves the way people do. For them, it just means someone wants their attention.
Try a name that doesn't sound like a common word the horse will hear often. Avoid overly "cute" names or names you wouldn't use in mixed company. Also, if you have some really long name in mind, that's OK for registration and "official" use, but pick a nickname of only 2 (or at most 3) syllables. Some horses' names I've encountered: Sundance, Mesa, Cheyenne, Shadow, Apollo, Frodo, Rio, Rebel, Windracer, Rambo, Lilly, and Custard.

i have no idea, just be glad you have a horse.......

and you shouldn't name your horse, your horse should bear the name it finds most suitable, not you. why should you inflict a name on someone or thing???? we should all choose our own names... names are powerful things: they can lift you up or drag you down... we as humans put so much store in the spoken word, and when we name ourselves in speech, we give ourselves power... or take it away.... so don't name your horse, unless you would let your horse name you.... and it really isn't your horse. no living being can own another, hold the deed to another's soul. we might call something our possession but it never belonged to us. everything belongs to God, and and man cannot shackle anything just for their own whims.... just be glad there is a horse that allows you to straddle it's back and take you around where you wish... it really is a great privilege to be able to enter a partnership with such a majestic animal. respect it.

Answer 3

Just ask him what name he would like
