How many horses' names are significant in the hobby? Beucephalus, Marengo...ummm, there must be a few more....

Arabian has to be surely?
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Getting at their tackle is always tricky - the base gets in the way....  :D
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

There is one horse whose name should be known and feared by all who tread this forum. His coat is black, pure black, as black as night in a coal mine. His eyes flash red in permanent rage and his from his hooves sparks fly as he clatters abroad, black steam rising from his overheated coat. He has been trained with whip and birch not to fear man but to trample any who try and halt his wide careering. He cannot be truly tamed, but may be subdued and bent to the will if one is strong and fearless enough. Many have tried, and some have survived.

This wild beast recognises only one master - The Dark Lord, and willingly carries him on the Dark Lord's sojourns to the land of mere mortals, but even the Dark Lord has never laid bridle of the great stallion, and instead grips the sable mane and rides bareback. Sidesaddle.

The name of the great mount? Binky.
