If a rose is a rose is a rose called by any other name not a rose?
Is a horse is a horse is a horse called by other name not a horse?
I don’t think so as we name horses and they become companions,
and while remaining who they are, a horse, a degree of transcendence
takes place – rider and horse can become a single entity moving as
one, not so with a rose inspite of all they offer.
When Youngest son was seven, sixteen years ago, he named his horse Lightening Bolt. I made him a saddle blanket with metallic cloth lightening bolt appliques.

Thank you, rezinate, for your comment, and Bear, for your photo of the horse. I shall reciprocate your love for horses with my post at https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/2014/02/14/chinese-new-year-celebration-spring-festival-flying-eagle-galloping-horses-and-annual-surplus-%e9%b7%b9%e9%a3%9b%e9%a6%ac%e9%a8%b0-%e5%b9%b4%e5%b9%b4%e6%9c%89%e9%a4%98/
