Fetch the Ay-rab, I’ll talk to the horse.
Um… he just got gelded, so not in the mood for chat. 
Still so disappointed about the Beaver.

me too. It’s not the same.
How is Belharra pronounced? That is one of my favorite tack conditioners.
If anyone says it’s also pronounced Beaver we will no longer be friends.

Just got back from EEquine Affaire, or is it EHquine Affaire, in Massachusetts.[/QUOTE]
I have heard it said both ways. A few Candians I know say EHquine.

Sadly, it’s KETCH-up. However, CAT-sup sounds much more interesting![/QUOTE]
I think I will continue to say CAT-sup, just to be interesting. :lol:
I just thought of another one (non-horsey though):
lieutenant
Americans say “lootenant”; English and Canadians say “leftenant”.
In this case, I think the American pronunciation is closer to the original French than the bastardized English version, which I am pretty sure is the result of all those Norman French invading England in 1066 and the Anglo-Saxons attempting their own pronunciation that got even farther from the original over the centuries. At least that’s my theory and I’m sticking to it!
