We decided to do that right away. We know many people who give names to their automobiles, but we&#8217;ve never done that. So this naming this is kind of a first for us.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/rv-guide\/2016-palomino-palomini-travel-trailer-floorplan-179-rds-tr27244\">Palomini camper<\/a> is a form of the Palomino brand by Forest River. So Dave and I figured a &#8220;horse&#8221;-themed name would be appropriate. We started with &#8220;famous&#8221; Palomino horses:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mister Ed<\/strong>. Dave and I both remember watching reruns of the 1960s comedy <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mister_Ed\"><em>Mister Ed<\/em><\/a> on the <em>Nick at Nite<\/em> channel when we were kids. I&#8217;m guessing those who would have gotten the most joy out of meeting a camper named Mister Ed would have been few and far between. Our sons had no earthly clue. But Mister Ed is indeed a Palomino horse &#8212; perhaps the most famous of them all.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trigger<\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Trigger_(horse)\">Trigger<\/a> is actor, singer, and cowboy star Roy Rogers&#8217; horse, also a palomino, and has been referred to as the &#8220;smartest horse there ever was.&#8221; He was a movie star and was just as famous as his owner!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bucky the Bronco<\/strong>. I actually didn&#8217;t talk about this one because it isn&#8217;t a real horse. It&#8217;s a statue of a horse that sits at the top of the Denver Broncos Stadium. The mold for the <a href=\"https:\/\/ourcommunitynow.com\/sports\/broncos-mascot-bucky-modeled-after-one-of-americas-most-iconic-horses\">Bucky statue<\/a> is based on Trigger.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>None of those characters\/horses appealed to us. Dave and I are not &#8220;cowboys&#8221;. We definitely enjoy living out west, but picking any of those above names seemed to give off a cowboy-vibe&#8230;we didn&#8217;t want to mislead.<\/p>\n<p>We bailed on the palomino idea and started coming up with generic &#8220;famous horse&#8221; names*. Here is a horse our whole family could agree upon to name our RV.<\/p>\n<p><em>*We live in a neighborhood where all the street names are named after famous thoroughbred race horses. But none of those names appealed to us. &#8220;This is our camper, Sir Barton.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/JpL9eAzVHtuSc\/giphy.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Bojack Horseman is the lead character in the eponymous animated Netflix series. It&#8217;s definitely funny, but also has some deeper, darker themes, including PTSD, addiction, commitment issues, and exploring one&#8217;s sexuality. I can&#8217;t recommend the series enough &#8212; we watched it all with our sons, but I don&#8217;t recommend this program for children younger than teen-aged.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an easy name to say, and we will have a great time with him!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many folks give nicknames to their campers.
