if I’m remembering right, the prince in _Snow White_ had a white horse with lots of personality. Did the horse have a name? ---

Actually, I think you’re thinking of Samson from Disney’s **Sleeping Beauty** (not even the prince had much personality in _SW&t7D_) ---

And, yes, the horse had a name; Samson. ---

Cool! Thanks, guys! You’re quite right, it was _Sleeping Beauty._ GAH! I was even thinking about the glass coffin, and everything, but my memory was still providing “Snow White” for some inexplicable reason. ---

Oh, jeepers. Lemme see if I can get this straight: **Snow White** : Poisoned apple. Dwarves. Glass coffin (made by dwarves.) Prince w/o personality. **Sleeping Beauty** : Poisoned spindle. Three good fairies. Castle w/ thorn bush; dragon. Prince & his faithful steed, Sampson. Have I gotten my neurons uncrossed? ---
