TRUTH OR CRAP ??
On an Equestrian statue of a Military veteran;
if the horse has both front legs in the air, it signifies that the rider
died in battle.
1. Five Card Stud
2. “Break a Leg!”
3. Louisiana
4. L. Ron Hubbard
5. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
6. Oregano
7. India
8. John Milton
CRAP !!
A popular belief in the United States is that if the horse is rampant (both
front legs in the air), the rider died in battle; one front leg up means the
rider was wounded in battle or died of battle wounds; and if all four hooves
are on the ground, the rider died outside battle. However, there is little
evidence to support this belief.
The alleged rule is especially held to apply to equestrian statues
commemorating the American Civil War and the Battle of Gettysburg, but there
are a number of instances where the rule does not hold for Gettysburg
equestrian statues, and syndicated newspaper columnist Cecil Adams claims
that any correlation between the positioning of hooves in a statue and the
manner in which a soldier died is a coincidence.
