When I wrote my last post I didn't mention any but personal animal names, but since then I have remembered some names that I really loved. They are names of famous racehorses, all from quite awhile ago, but none of the names I hear now can match them.
The first I always was taken by was Native Dancer. Isn't that a great name for a horse? The next was Whirlaway, but the very best of all was Carry the Mail. In a book I've been writing for years there is a horse named Revenant. And there's always "Old Stewball", who never drank water, but only drank wine.
I once read that Napoleon's cavalry troops fed their horses bread dipped in wine before a battle, but that's a story for another post.
