Location: Probably On the Road to the Next Barrel Race! | My horse came with a barn name I didn't really like...Boomerang, Boomer for short, sometimes baby boom-boom when I'm feeling silly. The reason she got this name was because of the wicked turning style on her first barrel...one second your headed to the fence, milliseconds later your facing second barrel, it's like an instantaneuous change of direction! She "slings around it FAST" so, the name is stuck, though she has a beautiful reg name...Blazen Peptolena. 100% cutting bred, but will take your money in the barrel pen, lol! |

Location: The best kept secret in TX | A few interesting names I have heard:
Lefty (went to left first)
Jack (as in he acting like a jack "donkey")
Jill (Jack's girlfriend.)
Enid (bought in Enid Ok)
and Poke as in Slow poke.
Most of my horses I had as a child were old roping or ranch horses that came with names like: Mare, Son, Boy, Red, Brown, Grey, Spot, or Hank. LOL |
