Question?
Does anyone know if there is any corilation between the Horse that is named Bree in the Horse and his boy by CS Lewis and the fact that there is a town named bree with an inn called the prancing pony in FotR, or is this just coincidence?

That's a good question, and I honestly have no idea. Considering that JRR and CS were friends, it's possible.

I don't know either, but for what it's worth, Bree is also a type of cheese. I don't think that it's spelled the same way, though.

Never though of it. I don't think he was talking about cheese. Mybe a good way to check would be to see if there was any corrolation between the girl horse and LotR

The cheese is brie. And it certainly sounds suspicious about the use of names... which book was written first??

Yes, Brie.
There is obviously some sort of connection, though perhaps they had the same sort of idea, "Bree" bearing some sort of onomatopoeic connection to horses. Both, coincidentally, were published in 1954.

It could be a play on Bray but you may be right about it being related. But then again, I have a friend named Bree.
