katie bug asked in PetsHorses · 1 decade ago

I need a greek name with good meaning for a horse I want to show in either Hunt seat equitation, or show jumps?

I am buying a horse, and I have always been interested in Greek mythology and things. I was wondering if anyone had any good Greek names with meaning he is a 16.2 hand 6 year old paint gelding. I will tag a picture rather than explain what he looks like, cause he doesn't look like a paint.

Thanks!!

    NIKE - Greek Goddess of VICTORY; I think it is appropriate (: Even though Nike was a Goddess, I still think it would be a good name because of the meaning.

    & you could show him as

    Oh My Gods

    (because the Greek believed in many gods...?) Hahah it might be lame, but I think it's cuuute (:

    Neat markings! Hermes might be a good one, as he was the swift messenger god in ancient Greece. Apollo is also a good one, being the god of light/sun and various other important things.
