beachcomber australia Wonderful!! Great sleuthing thanks beachcomber. The photograph in SMH was probably taken by Hood. This is getting more and more interesting.

Some biographical info on C-B-C here (warning - pdf).

I read the bio - and added a tag, "mule." This doesn't appear to be a horse, folks. Mules are smart and long on endurance.

It is a horse- Just because it is ugly doesn't make it a mule. It's ears are too small to be a mule

It's a horse. This horse is a descendant of the horses that the Spanish brought over and is typically called a "cayouse," after the native tribe that used them. Look at some of Remington's works and you will see that most of the Indian and cow ponys of that time were like this pony. A tough breed and hard worker.

This is definitely not a mule -- the tag should be removed. It's a horse that's not especially attractive, but not necessarily a cayuse either -- just a good, sturdy horse of mixed breed, apparently roan in color. Frankly as long as the "mule" tag is removed the breed doesn't much matter.

Prince Boris was Czar Ferdinand of Bulgaria's son. See NYT article at query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9402E0DC1F38E533A... He became King Boris III of Bulgaria after Ferdinand abdicated in 1918.

Thanks! We'll add the information to the source data and reload the description.
