Why not brainstorm the great horses' names?
Let's see: There's Bucephalus (sp?)--was that Alex the Great's steed?
Then the noble General Lee's Traveler (sp? again?)
Plath's Ariel...
Rogers' Trigger...
Christopher Robin's Eeyore--yeh, it's a donkey, but what the heh!
Black Beauty--but I don't know exactly who owned her all those times...
And what was the name of that most remarkable horse--a mare, I suppose--who ran one race of the Triple Crown with a broken leg and won it? I cannot remember her name...something tripping like "Pit-a-Pan" or "Tip-a-Can"? She had the best spirit of all.
And Flicka. Who owned her?
And my daughter's pony, an Arabian mare who was a flash of copper on cross country--Rosalar, the wild-hearted "Rosie" or "Rosasita." Had to include her on this list.
What other great horses or donkeys or, in general, long-legged fliers?
Oh, Pegasus. Can't forget Pegasus.
