Dobbin
Generic horse name
Dobbin is a traditional name for a horse, especially a plodding, gentle workhorse rather than a spirited steed.
The name suggests affectionate familiarity with an unremarkable but reliable animal: Old Dobbin pulled the cart for twenty years.
The word is old-fashioned and now mostly literary or nostalgic.
