Little Sorrel
(replying to the message on my talk page)

I am concerned that you believe I am editing arbitrarily. I do not believe that is the case. You have made an assertion and offered no (unaltered) documentary evidence that it is correct. I have offered the Robertson biography and a half dozen website references to support my claim. The two, relatively obscure, website references you have provided do not support your claim that Little Sorrel was often referred to as Old Sorrel. If you can identify secondary sources that support your opinion, we can continue to discuss the matter. Merely stating that "maybe you will run across both horses in the many other volumes on Jackson that exist" is insufficient research to satisfy Wikipedia requirements for verifiability.
