100+ Black Horse Names: Ideas for Dark & Mysterious Horses

Black Horse Names

In addition to being undeniably gorgeous, black horses are rare, making them all the more special. Their coats are lean and shiny, and with dark, mysterious eyes and long flowing manes, these steeds are marvelous to watch. Not all black horses are covered head to toe, and they often have white or other shades mixed in to offset their shadowy coat. Nonetheless, horses are great companions and lifelong friends for those who adopt them.

We want to ensure you find the most suitable name for your black beauty. So, after some research, we found the top-rated, most popular, unique, and fun names for you to consider!
