I think a clever one is Oceans Apart, by Desert Prince out of Ffestiniogg (apologies to any Welsh members if I’ve spelt her name wrong) Incidentally every one of her foals have been winners – Boston Lodge, Brecon Beacon, Oceans Apart,Harlech Castle & Eisteddfod.
Good grief there’s a blast from the past. I went on an Outward Bound course at Ffestiniog a zillion years ago.
I blame being dumped on Snowden at 11 in the middle of winter and told to ‘dig a bivouac and we’ll back in the morning for you’ for all my psychological twitches now
I’m disappointed that still no owner out there has taken up any of the suggestions I posited last time we had a “horse’s name” thread – 18-letter gems such as Ordinarybrownhorse, Everybladeoftarmac and Isitstanleybaldwin remain up for grabs.

You’ve no idea how close you’ve come GC ~ went to Ascot Sales yesterday but left empty handed. Watch this space!
The original daft name also remains one of the best: Potoooooooo, which was of course pronounced Potatoes
Geespot (Pursuit of Love-My Discovery) is one of the more clever-named horses of recent years.
And all Simpsons afficionadoes would have enjoyed seeing Amanda Hugankiss running in Point-to-Points this season – lets hope that Ivana Tinkle, Hugh Jass and Homer Sexual are waiting in the wings.
Old Peaty Sandy always insisted that he would call his first horse "Proufrou":
Pulled-Up, Refused, nowhere, Unseated, Fell, Refused, nowhere, Unseated.

Bachelors Pad (Pursuit of Love – Note Book)
was a good one too
Pursuit of Love has been responsible for quite a few classics – I especially admire
One Night Stand (out of Relatively Easy)
Luvaduck (out of Pillowing)
White House (out of Much Too Risky)
Bachelor Pad’s full brother Kama Sutra
and
Rash (out of Stinging Nettle).
