What was the name of the war horse owned by the Duke of Wellington?
Correct answer: Copenhagen
sunsetdb7
On dismounting after his hand-earned victory (at Waterloo), the Duke patted Copenhagen’s flank. The horse kicked out, narrowly missing Wellington’s head.
He was buried with full military honours. - warhistoryonline

sunsetdb7, Animals are such noble creatures and not enough humans know and appreciate them. Dogs will love you no matter who you are or what you look like...Look in their eyes, they love you. Please show them kindness and you WILL be rewarded.

RoaringMission4817, I am sure it seems very tall when you are seated on a horse cantering.

Player #3491806, 15 hands back in 1813 was on the larger size during the war. Ultimately the larger horses 15.3 and up would have been found within the heavy cavalry.
