I love this mountain with everything it offers itself and with its appendages (Veliki Konj, Veliki Vršovec, ...). From it I've often looked at the surrounding peaks and always gladly the other way around - observed it from all sides. If you look at Z. Ozebnik from Vodnikov vrh (Peter, you surely have some super photo from there!) and your gaze goes from the ZO summit to the left, a shape is revealed that could resemble a horse, better a horse's back ... Let me develop my thesis from this - anyway, when revealing the reasons for mountain names we'll stay only at theses, because it's unlikely that anyone could claim with complete reliability who, when and why named this rocky "horse" Veliki Konj. Just a thesis then!
About naming various Konjs and reasons for them, it always seems sensible to me to think in connection with the shape of the ridges belonging to the "horse mountains". Usually somewhere near the "head" (= main summit) you find a "back" and on/in it some "saddle" (or even two) and possibly also "mane" (= characteristic vegetation). Would Ozebnik's Veliki Konj fit this? To me it always seemed so! 
Let me relativize the thesis at the end and add a pot, if this is Veliki Konj, where the devil is the little one hiding? 
Ah, one more thing: Marijana and Marko (M&M) on their website claim, if memory serves, that both elevations of Veliki Konj are equally high and that the named summit is the last in the ridge.

Šodrovec thanks for the reply, Aleš also thanks for the praise.
Regarding the name Veliki Konj I also thought in that direction, that the mountain or ridge resembles a horse. Still, I also thought the name is connected to some historical event.
Anyway, the mountain is interesting, actually the whole shorter ridge.
Regarding the height I just saw on MM's page too that both peaks in the ridge are equally high and that the main summit is the last one. Our GPS showed the first peak 3m higher going up and down. But GPS on a wristwatch isn't accurate to the meter so the data is probably not accurate.
Thanks again for the reply. Hope we meet sometime somewhere in the mountains .
Best
Peter S.

You're right, Peter, it would really be good to check some old Austro-Hungarian (maybe even some "Laško") special map of that area? Also ask at the TNP Information Center in Log. A lot would be clearer then ...
On the map of that area (Trenta, 1:25000) I noticed something interesting, that as many as three peaks around (Ozebniška) Planja claim the adjective big (Vršovec, Konj, Glava), of the expected paired peaks with small I find only Vršovec on the map. Then I jumped to check Tuma's Nomenclature of JA. And look, he also mentions only both Vršovci, between them the gully Kloma (he writes Klama), which should be translation for sl. ozebnik, and that should thus also give name to the highest peak above its upper end - Zadnjiški Ozebnik. Tuma at the same place (under 9th group) mentions Konj (without big or small adjectives), but under its ridge also Konjske Police ...
I added the M&M reference only because I know Marko usually bothered in case of doubt to find out which peak is the "real" named peak. From first hand I know the famous M&M played with GPS on Lemež in 2002 (don't know if they had the device with them on V. Konj) and so the advantage of today's technology is indisputable!
Peter, somewhat more chance than meeting in mountains is meeting by the barrel, as Juš says. But hope for both remains, of course! Good luck!

Does anyone know current conditions on the path to Zadnjiški Ozebnik? Is there snow?

When I rise above the clouds, I'm happy, as it's truly a special experience. This happened to me yesterday. From Zadnjica we headed to Prehodavci, just below the pass Čez dol we turned right. Here we were still in fog and walking on snow already. In this section there was the most snow, as it's the shadiest. An unmarked trail leads to the top, but it was covered in snow. We followed some footprints that then got lost. Since we were last here in November 2009 with my white dog, we naturally partially forgot the exact path direction. We searched a bit, then sniffed out the right direction and found the trail again. We rose above the fog, snow was less and less. The upper part of the mountain is very nice, gentle, grassy, overgrown with pines. Known as a nice panoramic peak and it really is. We returned via the mulatiera to Log and Trenta, making a loop. The last kilometer on asphalt road and in the dark.

Still spring Zadnjiški Ozebnik. Almost too warm today. Path is nicely visible. Someone set up cairns. Scree towards top like last year. Too much of it on the path. Gentian now blooming in full. Views gorgeous.

Has anyone been to Zadnjiški ozebnik recently? What are the conditions like?

Today I was with my wife on ZO. Her cousin and her husband from Lucija "bailed" 150m below the summit, no persuasion worked. Weather on ascent almost ideal. While we walked in the forest sunshine, towards the top cloudy, just a bit humid. Right after descending from the top a small shower caught us. The path is normally passable (completely snow-free), just in the upper part through scree a bit annoying. All day we met no one, nor saw anyone anywhere.
