Naming Your Horse

Pay special attention to your horse’s character and personality and choose the best-suited name according to these traits. The second most deserving feature of your horse is its physical appearance.

For instance, if your horse is a bit emotional, try naming him Agasa (meaning rain) to depict his tendency to burst into tears when an unfortunate event occurs. Similarly, if your horse is black in color, name him Enoli, meaning black fox.
