Im a horse trainer and trying to create a biz name for a hunter/jumper barn. any suggestions? thanks!?

Answer 1

Oooh, always a tough one. Here are some ideas:
- use your name (I think this is lame, but I felt it had to be included)
- use an aspect of the region -- I really like local regional names that are creative...think of local water features (streams, rivers, lakes), mountains, towns, etc. I always like barns that are named for the creek running through the pasture...
- Does the farm/barn itself have any cool features? What about it's history?
- Keep it SHORT! Short names are easy to remember, easy to write, etc. (You'll thank my later, trust me, my parents have a farm named "Northwest" -- good as a name, but waaay too long as a breeding prefix!)
- Think about the type of clients you're trying to attract...do you want local amateurs and horse crazy kids, or are you going for the ritzy high-end market? Your name will have a lot to do with how "approachable" you seem, but keep in mind that it also says how professional you are

Sorry I don't have any concrete ideas for you, but this is an important decision! Take some time to give it thought and talk to local people showing on the circuit you plan to be in (or are already in) -- they'll have better ideas than some random gal from the internet (me)!

I just read the response that said "use one of your horse's names" -- great idea! I know of a young trainer who used her extremely well-known Jr. Ex. mount's name as a basis for her stable name. She had some name recognition right away!

Answer 2

I was thinking of giving you the names of all the barns i know of but i am gonna make up some and see how you like them =) it's my dream to have a barn but its far off, so i hope you carry it out!

Answer 3

It's kinda hard not knowing your location. Use the type of tree that is on your land - Oak Knoll, or Knotty Pine. You may also use other geographical characteristics (Winding Brooke..) Or think of adjective that have to do with excellence. But remember, KISS - Keep it simple, stupid (sorry, that's just the acronym), and don't get too cheesy (Sunny Brooke Farm). A lot of people are using Indian/Western names (Shiloh)... I think this is a fad. Do stay conservative.

Answer 4

Dancing Fox Farms, Pouncing Fox Farms. Dancing or pouncing: synonims for jump, and of course fox, because that is what was hunted:) It is late, I'm tired, and for now that is the best I can do. Hope it helps. If not, hope you enjoyed a giggle:D

Answer 5

Wellllll, you could try the classics (Flyin' High, Soaring ____, etc), but those get a bit tiring, don't you agree? Try something a little out there. Or go classic and name i after a nearby river or landform! Your call :)

Answer 6

Use one of your horses names.

Answer 7
