I’m from a horse family (dressage and western show, not racing which is cruel and should be stopped). They take these goofy names very seriously. The words convey the lineage, and let’s just say they ran out of “normal” sounding horse names hundreds of years ago. You wouldn’t believe the gibberish strings of word salad that hard-as-nails horse people will say with a straight face. As the outsider in the mix, I giggle in my head a lot about it.
