Okay, we might be moving very soon to a new house so I can get another horse. The color horse I get I don't care if it's not brown/bay but I would name him Barbaro. I love that name and Barbaro was such a wonderful, wonderful horse, I just want to name my new horse that I get after him.
Do you think that would be alright?? It's legal right? I was just wondering if you think that would be cool to name your horse, one of the most true champ's of horse racing.
Please let me know what you think and if it's a good idea to name HIM Barbaro, because I would get a gelding. I just don't know if I should... or even if it's legal (just cuz that would be like coping a name)
So just let me know! THANX

I don't think there is anything illegal about naming your horse Barbaro.
I think the owners have copyrighted the name for commercial purposes, which means that you can't use the name in a way that makes money, but I suspect that the owners of Barbaro would be honored by your tribute to their horse.

You should name your horse anything you want. Nothing is wrong, or illegal, with naming it Barbaro. You just won't be able to register it with the Jockey Club. I think something like Bobby's Honor would be a good way to honor the memory of Barbaro and still give the horse his own name, like he'll have his own personality. Go with your heart though Melissa.

If the horse is registered or is of Thoroughbred ancestry, you will NOT be allowed to use the name Barbaro again. The Jockey Club prohibits names of famous horses from being used more than once to protect the integrity of the sport, and to prevent horses from running under more than one name and under assumed names. The American Quarter Horse Association has similar rules, because some of those horses also race. You can try naming your horse something that has part of Barbaro's name in it, but you won't be able to use the full name again. I like the name "Barbaro's Legacy", which would be permissable under the rules.

THe horse could not be registered with the Jockey Club with that name.
The Jockey Club gets final approval on all thoroughbred names when you send in the papers. They can approve or not any name. They have made several names no longer available. Like Ruffian Secreteriat War Admiral Count Fleet Seattle Slew those will never be used again.
If you are going to use the horse for other stuff like 4-h and things like that I think you could name it what ever you wanted.
I would not name a Quarter horse after a great thoroughbred.

You could NOT name a registered thoroughbred Barbaro.
The jockey club approves all names, and hundreds of thousands of names are in use.
Some names are restricted, meaning they cannot be used again. Horses that win the Kentucky Derby are automatically placed on the restricted list.
A normal thoroughbred name (I think) can be used again after the previous horse has been deceased either 5 or 10 years. Then the name is re-released.
Now, if your horse is not a thoroughbred, I don't see a problem. I was watching a standardbred (harness) race last week and there was a horse named Azeri, which is on the Protected list for thoroughbreds.
The last link has the Jockey Club online names register. You can see that Babaro is labelled with a (P) for permanent name (cannot be used again).

Well i dont think it would be illegal-as long as you not repesenting it to have anything to do the one you named it after, but im not sure i mean these days people seem to come up with all kinds of crazy things they think we "cant "do,
i have heard it is bad luck to name an animal after another one though---??dont know about that-maybe you should do a variation of the name?

in case you think of that your toddler or persons could have hassle announcing the call, in step with hazard that's advisable to alter it. Spelling is considerable while it includes naming slightly one. in case you could not spell it or say it, bypass with something else.
