Gen. Grant's horse (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Lady Rocki said:

  The Riderless Horse (aka Caparisoned Horse) used during funeral processions of Army or Marine Corp colonels (or higher) or deceased presidents of the USA. The riderless horse bears the boots of the deceased (mounted backwards) as a symbol that the rider will never ride again.
