NAMING YOUR TRAKEHNER
The CTHS Constitution(see p. 11) requires that a foal's name should
begin with the same letters as the DAM's name. This is
in the Trakehner tradition as begun when the breed was first established in
the 18th century. Names can only be 25 characters long.(This includes spaces
& punctuation.)
It is very important to give the horse a name that will see him through
all stages of life. A name that may be cute for a foal may sound pretty silly
in the show ring. Names can be changed but have a way of persisting
even after being changed.
At the time of registration our data is checked to make sure the name has
not already been used. If it has, "2nd" or "3rd" is added
to the name. In the case of registered horses coming from another country
or another registry we have to stick with the name as presented.
Some breeders add identifying initials to the name. This is a good way of
avoiding "2nd" or "3rd" etc & of distinguishing horses with similar
names.
Once a horse has had offspring a name change is not allowed.
