Holiday Horse Names: Thanksgiving Paint Horses

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

In this series we research and share registered horse names that are related to the holiday. Each year we’ll pick a different breed to showcase. For 2025 you’ve helped us pick Paint Horses and will be looking at American Paint Horse Association (APHA) registered names. APHA’s search bar is so good it gives us all the names used with the word we search in it. Therefore, this year, you’re going to see all the APHA names ever used that relate to the holiday. We’ll research some of them to give you some history!

Here are some APHA registered Paint Horse names that go right along with Thanksgiving:
