hearsay:-  
 A letter from W P Hasket Smith, West Cumberland Times, 5 January 1888, complains about the Ordanance Survey calling places '... Horse', eg:- Horse Point, Burnt Horse, Dale Horse, Horsey Gill. He said:-
"At the foot [of Howtown Hause] stands a farmhouse which appears in the map dignified with the absurd name 'Horse'! We have the authority of Mr. Squeers for the fact that 'an Englishman may call his house an island if he likes', but when did any sane man ever call his dwelling a sheep or a horse?"
