Did you know this? .......
Found this out recently, and wondered if anyone else realised that when you come across one of those large Statues in a Park or outside a Building etc., of a famous person on a horse, it depicts a certain significance......If the horse has both 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.
