Origins of "Horse and Jockey" as a Pub Name
The horse and jockey are two symbols that have traditionally been associated with racing. Racing was a popular pastime in Britain for centuries, and many pubs were named after activities that were popular with their patrons. The horse and jockey are also two symbols that have been used in heraldry, the art of designing and displaying coats of arms. Many pubs were named after the heraldic symbols of their owners, so the name "Horse and Jockey" may have been chosen for this reason.

What's a Canonical Name?
To simplify searches, each pub on our database has a Canonical Name - usually a shortened version of its full name missing out any common prefixes and suffixes like "The Old", "Inn", "Tavern" and so on.
This means that "The Old Crown", "The Crown Inn" and "Ye Olde Crown Taverne" are known canonically as, simply, "Crown".
We've also dropped the "The", standarised with "and" instead of "&" and in some cases simplified pluralisation.
