Forewarning - went a little crazy with this one on names!!!
Without reading the current rules, I don't know how many spaces you can have in your AMHR (or AMHA - know nothing about that registry) registered names.
Our ponies are registered ASPC (Shetlands). When we first got into the Shetlands, we chose the farm name of LP Painted Ponys and we paid for ($200) the prefix of "LP Painted". That's supposed to prevent anyone else from using that in front of their horse's name. ASPC allows for 21 characters to include the farm name AND spaces. That gets tough sometimes...
As to names - we've used combinations of the parents' pedigrees, weather, holidays, personality etc. I try to keep the barn names as part or or similar to the registered name - both for ones we've bred/raised and ones we've purchased... That will hopefully help family and friends or totally unknown folk match ponies up to papers if the unforeseen should happen (I'm not around). Plus it's just NICE to me.
"GG" - one of the mares that is due to foal this spring (soon?) is a little different. She is sired by Michigan's Chief Red Fox out of Little Jim's Silver Bell. She has a "giraffe" on her rump - looks just like the fisher price/avon toy that used to be available (still is on eBay). Giraffe DID NOT work for a name (GAK) - BUT it became "GG" for a barn name. She was registered as LP Painted Silver Toy H (the "H" is for her actual breeder - we bought "Bell" as a 3in1 package). "GG"s 1/2 sister - sired by All That Style N Class is registered as LP Painted Classic Bell and her barn name is "Classy".
Now that I have additional stallions, I'm trying to use a portion of the stallions name or a letter from his name to identify the resulting foals. If I had a lot of foals, I could see using a number in there to denote the year born (can't remember if that's allowed or not - it's not anymore in Pinto or wasn't the last time I did my membership and double registered ponies there).
Of all the ponies currently on our property, I think I've only got two who don't have their barn names matching their registered names. "Ami" - also on our 2016 foal list is registered as SNS Exoticas Crowning Glory and came w/ the barn name of "Amira". I dropped the "ra" from that and just use "Ami". "Taff" is registered as Showman's Buckwheat (a mare?) - didn't do anything for me. "Taff" fits her coloring and I like having a Taff. One of my favorite movies is the Disney movie called "Ride a Wild Pony" - based on the book called "A Sporting Proposition" - both set in Australia... The pony goes by "Taff" w/ the boy and "Bo" with the girl.
Wizard's first 3 foals would be - LP Painted Kava Wiz (out of Wa-Full Koalah's Silver Fluff); LP Painted RiddleMe W (based on his head marking); LPPainted K Blitzen W (born the day after Christmas - dam's name is Lady Kay and we call her K-La). Sometimes we squish the words by taking spaces out so that we can have a full name...
Hmm, after counting some of these names, I'm thinking that the name 21 spaces comes separate from the prefix or suffix. I dunno! I've always kept ours at 21... Now I'll need to pull the rule book...
Let's see - Cherry-Hill Olympic Victory is "Tory". We purchased her bred to MO Shock N Awe, EDV and the resulting colt is LP Painted MO-Olympus and we called him "OLY". We bred "Tory" to WF Action Jackson (barn name of "AJ") and the resulting colt is AJ's last foal/last son/homozygous for tobiano and is also blk/wht like his sire. His name is LP Painted AJs Echo and we call him "Echo". Right now, we're retaining Echo as a Jr stallion and eventually we'll probably have some sons/daughters whose names will go back and pick up some of Echo's dam's pedigree...
Someday I need to do up a list of the names of ponies we've bred and raised...
