Holiday Horse Names: Thanksgiving Quarter Horses

Happy Thanksgiving, Horse Nation. Today, we’re celebrating by highlighting some Quarter Horses with Thanksgiving Day-themed registered names. Check them out below:

Last year we started a series for various holidays! In this series we research and share registered horse names that are related to the holiday. Each year we’ll pick a different breed to showcase. For 2024 we picked Quarter Horses and will be looking at American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) registered names.
