There are two types of names that most purebred horses have, a barn name and a registered name. Choosing a name for a Dutch Warmblood can be fun on both levels.
With any breed of horse, the barn name is typically something short and to the point, a name that is chosen to fit a horse’s personality or color in some way.
The KWPM requires that registered dutch warmblood names adhere to the following rules:
– Maximum of 20 letter positions
– Start with a letter determined by the General Board based on the year of Birth
– The name does not have a negative meaning such as being inappropriate or show a relationship with a person or group that might damage the reputation of the KWPN
