    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.
  • YaddaBing said:
    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
  • David Dubin said:
    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.
  • Jean Knowles said:
    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.

Sir Arthur Lawley (LOC)

  • Richard Norton said:
    Arthur Lawley, 6th Baron Wenlock, GCIE, KCMG (12 November 1860–14 June 1932) was Governor of Western Australia from 1901 to 1902. He also worked as lieutenant governor of Transvaal from 1902 to 1905. The Perth suburb of Mount Lawley is named after him. Lawley was a son of the 2nd Baron Wenlock (1818–1880) and he served with the 10th Hussars, rising to the rank of Captain. On 15 October 1885, he married Annie Cunard, a daughter of Sir Edward Cunard, 2nd Baronet and they had three children: Hon. Margaret Cecilia Lawley (d. 1969) Hon. Richard Edward Lawley (9 May 1887–4 September 1909), killed in India in a hunting accident. Hon. Ursula Mary Lawley (born 8 June 1888–16 October 1979) He succeeded as Baron Wenlock on the death of his elder brother, the 5th Baron, who died without male heirs (as did his other two elder brothers), on 14 June 1931. Lawley died exactly a year later in 1932 in Freiberg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany and as he also did not have any male heirs, his title became extinct. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Lawley
