Copenhagen: The Duke of Wellington’s War Horse.

Today as part of my remembrance of the equine war heroes I am reblgging my post about Copenhagen. He was on the battlefield for 17 hours at the Battle of Waterloo. When Wellington dismounted he gave him a unexpected response!

    I have seen rather stupid people feed Gower ponies chips but fancy feeding a horse sponge cake and buns!

      Yes and wait till you read the post on Sgt. Reckless. She got scrambled eggs and Coke in Korea from the American sold. But she survived ! In that situation maybe they didn’t have any horse feed available and did the best they could.

    It is unwise to approach a horse out of line of sight. I suppose Wellington was exhausted and overwrought himself and can be forgiven.

      You are right. It is always good to let the horse know where you are and speak first before touching any part of their hind end.
