Per Breeding and Registration Rules of the AHHA:

7.2. Naming of the Horse

7.2.1. No horse may be registered under a name which is a duplicate name of a horse, alive or dead, which has already been registered in the books of the AHHA. Full male siblings, however, may use duplicate names with the appropriate ordinal (e.g., Calypso I, Calypso II, etc.).

7.2.2. Male offspring must be named such that the first letter of the name is the same as the
first letter of the sire’s name.

7.2.3. Female offspring must be named such that the first letter of the name coincides with the
year of birth according to the naming schedule designated by the AHHA. The AHHA schedule will coincide with that of the Holsteiner Verband to avoid confusion in the
case of imported mares. Fillies born in 1986 will be registered with names beginning
with the letter “A.”

7.2.4. Names will be limited to no more than eighteen letters, including spaces.

7.2.5. Any communication with the AHHA in regard to a registered horse must refer to the
horse by its registered name.

7.2.6. Use of the sire’s name as part of the foal’s registered name is discouraged.

7.2.7. Upon application to the Association and payment of the scheduled fee, a horse’s registered name may be changed until such time as it enters the studbooks of the AHHA.
