Correction - the photographer cannot have been Albert Harlingue because of the different angle. Unless he had two trusty tripods ...

Is this the first time that we know a horse’s name?

“It was in the spring of 1913, when the Wolf House was near completion, that London became rededicated to develop a progressive and functional ranch operation. In order to achieve this vision, he studied all available pamphlets and flyers, to assure that he was up to date on farming methods and available resources. But Jack remained determined not to convert to machine power like many of his neighboring ranchers, but would succeed by the use of horsepower. He felt this could be accomplished through the use of draft horses pulling the equipment. London took a break from writing and made a trip to inspect Percheron Shires and Belgian horses. Jack became aware of a light bay, Shire stallion with a white face and four white legs that had been born in England in 1908 and had once been a champion in England purchased by Henry Wheatly and brought to the United States. This Shire had also been judged as a champion at the California State Fair in 1912. When London made arrangements to travel to the Salvador Stock farm in Napa, he wrote to a friend in Oregon,
“…And what do you think, at this moment of rejoicing, make this letter too short? I am just hiking away across country to buy a 2300 lb. three year old imported Shire stallion for breeding purposes on the ranch. I promise you some ranch and some horses, when you and your wife get down here next time.”

Jack did purchase the Shire stallion, Neuadd Hillside and the mare, Princess Cockington. London continued to work with his publisher on advanced royalties to handle the expense of completing the stone house and the $2500 he paid for Neuadd Hillside. London kept the editor up-to-date to justify the accounting of the horses as a business venture on the ranch,

Suck Diesel Huge Bualadh Bos, Mr Diesel! I think it is the first time we've found out a horse's name! And thank goodness for the detailed description. Definitely Neuadd Hillside. Otherwise I'd have had to screw in the old monocle to examine the undercarriage, to check if this was the mare, Princess Cockington!

Suck Diesel Also helps us towards an approximate date - 1913.
