The single riderless horse that followed the caisson with boots reversed in the stirrups is called the "caparisoned horse" in reference to its ornamental coverings, which have a detailed protocol all to themselves. By tradition in military funeral honors, a caparisoned horse follows the casket of an Army or Marine Corps officer who was a colonel or above, or the casket of a president, by virtue of having been the nation's military commander in chief.\n\nThe custom is believed to date back to the time of Genghis Khan, when a horse was sacrificed to serve the fallen warrior in the next world. The caparisoned horse later came to symbolize a warrior who would ride no more. Abraham Lincoln, who was killed in 1865, was the first U.S. president to be honored with a caparisoned horse at his funeral.

Soldiers only stay in body-bags until they get to the morturary affairs team at the nearest evacuation hospital.  At this time the bodies are prepared and placed in metal transfer caskets.  Here each casket is covered with an American flag - a flag that will remain with that casket until it is presented to the next of kin at the funeral service.\n\nWhen the casket is moved to the airfield it is moved on a dedicated vehicle that carries no other passengers or cargo.  Any servicemember who sees this truck stops what they are doing, comes to the position of attention and salutes until the truck has passed.\n\nWhen the truck arrives at the airfield a detail of servicemembers chosen as the honor guard slowly and ceremonously carries each casket onto the aircraft while the crew and the ground crew stand at attention and salute.\n\nLike the truck, this aircraft carries no other passengers and no other cargo.\n\nAll 'angels' (the term used to describe fallen comrades) are flown to Dover AFB in Delaware.  Here the remains are given the final processing and dressed in a proper dress  uniform with all authorized medals and accrotuments.\n\nWhile the body is being prepared an officer or senior NCO flies to Dover to serve as the escort for the rest of the body's journey home.\n\nWhen the body is ready to be sent to the Funeral home selected by his/her family this escort remains with it every step of the way.  He supervises the handling of the casket and ensures that the dignity of the absent comrade is maintained.  He also has custody of the US  Flag accompanying the soldier and ensures that it is properly displayed on the casket when appropiate or is in his personal custody when it is not.\n\nThe escorts' official responsibility ends when the casket is delivered to the funeral home, but custom dictates that he still supervise the remains until the military burial detail arrives.  At that time the flag is placed in the care of the officer who will present it to the next of kin.\n\nDuring the memorial service and the funeral the casket will be handled (again with great cereomony) by 6 soldiers detailed and after the firing of the three volleys and the playing of taps - the US Flag is folded; 3 expended cartriges are placed inside it; and it is presented to the next of kin as a symbol of the deceased servicemember's sacrifice.

I read that in Revelations he would be on a white horse. I am guessing but I am pretty sure it not a actual white horse, but then it could just be.

The constable got out of the police cruiser to question the suspect.\n\nThe suspect was in cahoots with the person they had arrested earlier. \n\nThe horse performed a smooth lead change and continued cantering toward the jump.\n\nHis indomitable spirit made him refuse to give up in the face of a terrible choice.

There is an urban legend concerning a code for mounted statues, whereby the horse's hooves are supposed to indicate how the rider met his end. One hoof off the floor would indicate the rider died of wounds received in battle, or perhaps was just wounded in battle; two hooves off the floor would indicate the rider was killed in battle. An examination of the equestrian statues in most major European cities shows this is not true. If it ever was true, the practice appears to have died out in the 19th century.\n\nI do not believe it means anything.

if that's the horse that won the Kentucky Derby, they said on the radio this morning it was 50/50 as to whether he'd have to be put down or not.  if a horse can't put weight on their leg after the surgery to fix the broken bone, they have to put them down so they don't get an infection and suffer.
