Holiday Horse Names: Thanksgiving Thoroughbreds

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

This year at Horse Nation we’re starting a new series for various holidays! In this series we’ll research and share registered horse names that are related to the holiday.
