Street names - horsey

I was looking on a map for a street name and I found a good collection.

Equestrian Drive
Harness Lane
Stable Way
Pommel Crescent
Pacer Place
Saddlehorn Crescent
Rein Terrace

In another part of Ottawa and close to where Abracadabra lives.

Hunt Club Road
Pimlico Crescent
Saratoga Place
Bridle Path Drive
Farriers Lane
Hunters Point Crescent

*****

Place and street names are interesting to reflect on.

Lachute has some streets like Grace and Robert and Sydney. I believe they were named after original inhabitants of the area.

In Ottawa when amalgamation happened streets had to be renamed. Some kept their names so we have Main Street, Main Street Manotick and probably a few more variations.
