Seriously? I see these damned horses for the first time in life. Not only I don't know their names, but it is hard to distinguish them visually. And I put quite a big probability on the hypothesis that 95% of people whom I personally know are unfamiliar with this as well.
Couldn't you go with apple, pizza, bicycle, broken watch, pen, or whatever sort of items whose names are known? It would perhaps be too ordinary, but your present choice really makes it harder.
How hard are they to distinguish visually? They are each dominated by a single (unique) color. Is my model of visual perception wrong?
The colours are "similar", in that they are all pastel tones, and I have probably not good memory for colours. Now when I am looking on the ponies for the third or fourth time, I am starting to "feel the difference", but at the beginning, I saw six extremely similar ugly pictures.
My explanation probably isn't very good, but visual impressions are difficult to describe verbally.
