26. (my friend) Flicka ???

[Captain2]

Have the given letter counts been ok in the rest of the quiz, bows? Only asking because

Pippi (Longstocking)

may fit 26

[Captain2]

^^^ Ignore my ravings, nice one The Winner. :))

[TheWinner]

apparently, Flicka is Swedish for "little girl".
Why is the horse named Flicka?
Ken spends the rest of the summer nursing the filly. He names her Flicka – Swedish for "little girl" – and spends hours every day tending to her needs and keeping her company.

[TheWinner]

Hey, I didn't know Captain2, it was my mate Google that suggested it! as I'm not that clever.

[TheWinner]

unfortunately, I can't find a link to radio 6, so it might not be right.

[bobbinwales]

Dont think clue says Radio 6, just radio and answer is 6 letters? Anyway its 6Radio not radio6

[TheWinner]

thanks, obviously misread the clue.

[Tilly2]

Oh! I was going to answer 'My Friend Flicka' ages ago but couldn't parse it!
Bum.

[TheWinner]

re. No 29. Is there any chance at all that the letter count may be wrong?

I found "Mariska" via Google which is 7 letters, not 6, but could be a contender???

[bobbinwales]

The original suggestion of Wyatt was only 5 not 6 so am not sure what the actual count is.
Another 7 possibilty is Houdini?https://www.racingpost.com/profile/horse/874868/houdini/form

[bobbinwales]

Was Lizzie a runaway horse in black beauty??

[TheWinner]

I also thought Houdini bobbinwales, but wrong letter count.

[bows13]

Sorry was called out only just come back I had seen flicks but didn't realise it was Swedish for little girl thanks for that.
Sorry number 29 is 5 letters not six.

[bows13]

All the questions letter counts have been right
My big fingers hit six by mistake
Thanks for all your comments and help
