Now you can better understand that splendid and
awesome Bronzed Statue that
you viewed of a "Horse and Rider" in your travels............You knew it was
someone important but you did not know why some Statues have the Horse in
different poses? Perhaps you simply admired the fine artwork of the Statue
of Horse and Man? Perhaps you took pictures? But why are some horses posed
different?
If a statue in the park of a person on a
horse has both of the horses front legs in the air, the person died in
battle.
If the horse has one front leg in the air,
the person died as a result of wounds received in battle.
If the horse has all four legs on the
ground, the person died of natural causes. Perhaps never even entered
battle in some cases?
