Gen. Grant's horse (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• XSPimages said:

  The elaborate 'costume' the horse is wearing is actually a knotted string 'fly sheet', designed to wick off sweat and keep the flies off the horse. Also note that the boots are inserted backwards in the stirrups, which in most cases indicates the death of the rider. Since Gen. F. D. Grant (son of Ullyses S.) died on April 12, 1912, this photo would have been taken a few days later at his funeral most likely.

• Lady Rocki said:

  I agree with XSPimages comments. This appears to be a caparisoned horse used during funeral processions to honor the deceased. The boots would be from Gen. Grant himself. The tradition can still be requested today for military personnel (colonel or above) who served in the Army or Marine Corp, or served as President of the USA. A caparisoned horse was used during Ronald Reagan's funeral. The horse bore the boots worn by Ronald Reagan and was escorted riderless down the procession in honor of the deceased president. More information: www.arlingtoncemetery.net/caparisoned.htm en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riderless_horse Too bad this image is fogged. This is a good looking animal.

Believed to be NSW volunteers Easter Encampment at Windsor April 1884 - Soldier and horse

from Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection

• ILL99 said:

  I suggest that this picture may be related to the photographs of unidentified soldiers in 4481_a026_691. I think he may be one of the mounted soldiers in that picture. He is wearing the uniform of a New South Wales Military Officer of 1885.

• ILL99 said:

  A correction to my previous post. The unidentified soldiers mentioned are in 4482_a026_695 not 691 as I stated. Sorry.
