A picture showing a silhouette of someone with a bow and arrow riding a horse at sunset in a western saddle. Below the picture is a brown square with the words American Indian Horse Names in white lettering and below that is the words Horsecrazygirls.com also in white lettering.
Many American Indians have a beautiful history with horses. Names that honor that iconic bond are often very popular, especially with appaloosa, mustang, paint, or pinto horses.
Here you'll find American Indian horse names shared by other horse crazy girls like you!
Cheveyo (by Mimi) It's my first horse's name. He is a beautiful leopard appaloosa. This name fits him so well and it means "spirit warrior."
Lakota (by Sam) It's the name of a horse I ride in real life. He's an Appaloosa horse and I just love to jump him!! It's just a different name and I like it.
Nacoma I like this name for a horse. It sounds very American Indian like. :)
Kamanchee That's my paint Tennessee walker's name. Love him!
Cochise I chose this name because I just got a new Indian blue roan mare and I think it fits perfectly since she has a feather in her mane!
Quil I just love it because it's off of twilight and is an Indian Quiluete tribe name ;D That's my tribe! I have a gelding named Quil and a mare named Quinsy!
Cheyenne I love the way it sounds, and it suits a brown or chocolate-colored horse. The name is from an Indian tribe.
Sacajawea Western... Old Fashioned... Has Flair... Just a cute name for a horse.
Camanchi It's because I know a horse named Camanchi. It's pronounced (Ca-Man-Chee). He is the horse I ride in riding lessons.
Osceola Great name for any stallion but I think it goes better with a paint horse because Osceola was the Seminole Indian chief. I call my horse Ozzy for short!
Cody I think it's a really cute name for a male horse!!
Walela It is an Indian woman that sings and it's my mom's favorite band, well kinda like a band. I think it's a great name for a filly or mare that is an Indian.
I have a Red roan leopard named UnaLii (native for Friend)

About the names 😊 by: Adahya Linda
The names are all very nice & interesting as well! I would like to recommend when using a native name that perhaps you could find out a bit about it other than it sounds good.
Examples would be to pay respect by mentioning that Tribe Names are just that! Lakota & Apache are tribe names of first peoples here in the USA. They’ve been here since before the settlers moved in! They still are Tribes & do have many residents enrolled as Tribal Members!
Thank you all, this is an interesting & fun page 🐎🐎🐎

Soaring Eagle by: Dream
I think Soaring Eagle would be a great name for a any color!
... and a TON of other ones, lol. I also like GingerSnap for chestnuts especially chestnut mares. And Flame is good for energetic horses (chestnuts work really good with that name). Sweetie, sweet horses of course, and Loco for wild, tough stallions.

Cody is not an Indian name. Also, try Cloud Dancing for a white horse, Running Bull for a thoroughbred or Clever Crow for a black horse.
Lona means "beautiful". I think it would be good for a horse.

American Indian Horse Names by: HorseLuvr4Evr
I think this is probably most appropriate for an Appaloosa, because that is the main horse American Indians rode. This is where I will probably be the least creative. I honestly just searched up Native American names or something like that and found a website... www.snowowl.com/swolfNAnamesandmeanings.html. It is very helpful, and safe! I am not as creative as for Girl Horse Names/Baby Horse Names, but I hope this helps. Sincerely, a True Horse Lover ;)
