replies: text: Waterson–Carthy →  – Waterson:Carthy was the original name of this page, and was moved without discussion for reasons which appear bogus. The name with the colon separator is the one used consistently by the band themselves and by informed commentators. For example see every one of their seven album covers viewable from their Musicbrainz discography, the consistent usage throughout the WP article itself, the Allmusic reference in the article, reviews in major newspapers such as  and  (though they add a space after the colon for their own Guardian style reasons), the major discography at Mainly Norfolk.

replies: text: You really can't expect a three to five year old child to jump fences, (  YIKES!  =:-O   ) and larger riders really couldn't do so safely, so minis like the Falabella are only shown in hand, not under saddle over fences.  Nothing in the sentence says big horses can't also jump at liberty.  The ref was that "Falabellas only jump in hand," not "only Falabellas jump in hand."  Word order makes a difference here.  LOL!

Since Florida isn't a country (West Florida was a republic for 74 days in 1810) it can't be a "country of origin".

Talk:Hackney horse

message: This article states, "The breed takes its name from the Hackney area of London, England...."
However, another article in Wikipedia on the Hackney carriage states, "The name hackney derives not from the borough of Hackney in London, but from the French word haquenée (an ambling horse or hack) referring to the horses which pulled the original carriages."
Richmess 19:56, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Fine.  But is there a direct link between Hackney (horse) and the original Hackney carriage?  Was the carriage originally pulled by Hackney horses? Or were the horses bred to pull the carriages? Or is it just a shared reference back to French? --Rumping (talk) 15:21, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm. But I've seen a couple of sources that say the French word haquenée is a 'loan word from English', which strikes me as much more likely. According to Partridge (Origins 1958) the town of Hackney was known for horse breeding long enough ago for there to have been an Anglo-Latin term hakeneius meaning 'a horse from Hackney'. The English word 'hackney' was in use in the 14th century, and Chambers Dictionary of Etymology notes reference to hiring Hackney ponies in Piers Plowman, circa 1387. To believe that horses hired from Hackney might be called 'hackneys' after a French word haquenée strikes me as rather complicated compared to accepting the obvious. It is, at any rate, for those people who assert that the word haquenée is older to cite some sources more reliable than that old fraud "it is thought". Grubstreet (talk) 20:41, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
