Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm not one for naming objects, but I am pretty sure the iPod is gonna need a name.

Podme?

Podme Podmidala?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Mine: SONGHOLE.

Is there any chance I can steal you away from Saget, O Pithiest and Prettiest of Rios?

You crack me up. Maybe I should name my car along those lines (as in [what it holds + "hole"] = BUTTHOLE. Or, GASHOLE.

What the hell is TARDIS?

Tommy, not for nothing, but not a Star Wars reference in a million years.

I am leaning towards Franklin right now, but I will sleep on it.

I'm pretty sure I need an IPod named this.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

How about something spooks the horse and it runs off?

Hmm. The problem with that is it'd have to throw both the characters, and they'd lose everything that's strapped to the saddle, which would be problematic. Also, I've characterized the horse as patient and longsuffering, and it's a cavalry horse, so probably tougher to spook than most.

Susan, just have the horse get something lodged in it's hoof like a sharp stone. After removal, that would bruise the pad enough to make the horse lame for a few days but wouldn't cause long term damage. The horse probably wouldn't fall to its knees, but it would certainly stumble and start limping.

Hmm. At the bare minimum, I want something that both my characters would notice, and right away, since I'm interrupting them mid-bicker by giving them something else to worry about.

Are you ready to be strong?

"Hole" makes everything funny, it is true.

Oh trust me--if a horse gets something sharp in its hoof, the riders will know it. The stumble could be bad enough to unseat someone, easily.

(And yes, speaking from experience here. Alas.)
