Got a question tonight about what it means when a military statue has a horse with both front hooves up off the ground. This one totally blew my mind! I had no idea that there would be meaning in such a minute detail such as this but there is actually a TON of meaning in it. If a statue has a horse with booth front hooves off the ground it means the person depicted in the statue died during battle. If the horse only has one hoof in the air it means the person was wounded in battle. If both front hooves are on the ground then the rider died died during peaceful times. These rules appear to apply mostly to statues of figures from the American Civil War.
