Got a cousin who works with horses and horse breeding and all that jazz.

Likely that this name is just a portmanteau of the mare and sire of this particular horse.

Still someone put those names together, read the result and thought "that sounds good".

Oh yeah. It’s still an insane name. But horse tradition is weird and it shows genealogy to those in the know.

Yeah, sire is Kids Classic Style and mare was Lookin Touchable

I... fuckin...

One of the grandparents was "TOUCHDOWN KID" and the other "LOOKIN GOOD MR". From that the mother was "LOOKIN TOUCHABLE" for some god awful, unknown reason. The other side also made a similar blunder with a less "sensical" process.

"KID CLU" and "TOOTSY ROLLS REDFORD" are OK names I guess , but for some reason, they called the child "KIDS CLASSIC STYLE" which, IDK, could be ok? But then why combine them in such an awful way? Also, "Lookin Classic (Style)" would be a WAY BETTER NAME

GOOD LOOKIN TOUCHDOWN TOOTSY KIDS when?

[–] TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lookin Style was right there. 😭

Lookin in Style was later taken by one of their 7 siblings

Either this is an insane fake, or these people are insane. It doesn't even show pedigree really, like the comment above says. There's literally nothing left of the names by the third generation, and it's mostly gone by the second. You might be able to guess the parents, if you're lucky, but nothing beyond that.

Well then someone needs to answer for Lookin Touchable

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Her grandmother was QuiteaLooker and her dad was UncleTouchy.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Hapsburg-ass lookin' horse.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yea, and its probably the best option given TouchableKidslookin.

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago
