Tweedledum and Tweedledee

There are two ponies belonging to the family I work for, Simba and Fairy. They stay in the same paddock and I have given them the nicnames from Alice in Wonderland. These names suit them perfectly because they are always together and miss each other when one is away. They also fight each other constantly and Fairy
(tweedledum) delights in stealing Simba's food and making him grumpy.

Following the Alice theme of names, The big warmblood is the Queen of Hearts because it is easy to see her yelling "OFF WITH HIS HEAD" about the ponies, dogs, chickens, trees and anything else nearby, particularly at dinner time. Then my horse, Xena, ended up as the Duchess, because both Xena and the Duchess were mental when we first meet them and then completely different the next time we meet in a different location.
