How about Alice?
I had a mare at the track that had a really bad reputation...fully earned. I had to go around and warn people when I was getting her out so they could be in a stall or standing outside one of the doors, you couldn't even stand still in the shedrow when she walked by or you were target practice for the back feet. She kicked, bit, bucked and reared, she was generally a witch. Her registered name was Princess Grace, her barn name was Alice, named after her exercise riders' ex-wife

LOL We had a rooster and hen named after the old wagonboss and his wife, as my husband always thought he was like a banty rooster. We were just mad the bobcat got him and we couldn't cook him first.
I don't feel nearly as bad about my mare, thanks
She won't kick or bite, and rarely bucks. When she does she can't even unseat someone, I think it's more play than anything else. She gets too excited when she sees cows and bucks if I try to stop her chasing them. She's only 4 so hopefully she'll outgrow it when she's been around them more. She likes to rear though, when we start her off lunging to the left. She doesn't under saddle, but will not turn left without a fight. I don't stop riding until she's turning well, but it's back to square one the next time I get on her.
