So you couldn't name your horses anything outside the official registries? What if the stallion was Abe and you, on a whim after a night of Jim Beam named your new horse Jim?
It seems a bit doctranaire to have horses named by diktat, though I understand that if you want to play in a certain game there are rules.
I also have a hard time with the old saw about not renaming boats. My BIL looked horrified when I said "Jenny III" should be painted over.
