280+ Girl Horse Names for Frisky Fillies and Mature Mares

Once upon a time, having a horse was a huge asset. Horses could be used for farming, transporting heavy objects, and travel. Now, horses are kept mainly by hobbyists as modern technology has made the need for workhorses obsolete.

Though their role has changed, horses still bring a lot of good into our lives and are one of the animals many children dream of having as a pet. Riding a horse is an incredible feeling; not only is it fun, but there’s something special about being able to trust and communicate with animals outside of our own species.

Of course, if you’re here to look for a name for your beautiful girl horse, you probably already know all of this! To help you pick the perfect name for your horse, we’ve divided our article into categories. We have lists of cute names, food names, flower names, funny names, cool names, color names, and more.

Spectacular Names for Spectacular Horses

Naming your horse is very exciting, especially because there’s a lot of freedom with what you can choose. After all, the racehorses at the Kentucky Derby certainly have some interesting and even crazy names thanks to the rules that determine what’s acceptable and what isn’t (over 60,000 names get rejected every year).

Even if your horse is not a racehorse, the popularity of races like the Kentucky Derby has cleared the way for all horse owners to choose eccentric, ridiculous, and spectacular names. Whether you’re looking for something unique or would prefer to keep it simple, we hope you’ve found the perfect name for your female horse.
