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.
Yes. I'm not sure why.
Future posts will not re-use this example. I wanted to use lots of pictures for this one to make sure the steps were clear, and found it easier to motivate myself to do that with ponies.
