Nelson (horse)
Nelson or Old Nelson was George Washington's horse and one of several horses owned by George Washington. He was a chestnut with a white blaze ("white face") and white feet. The horse was acquired by Washington in 1779 and died in 1790 at about the age of 27, quite old for a horse in that era.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mountvernon.org/research-collections/digital-encyclopedia/article/nelson-horse/ )〕 As Washington was known for being a skilled horse rider, Nelson was a significant icon for a number of years, being one of Washington's favorite horses.〔
==History==
Nelson was foaled in 1763 and was given to Washington in 1778 by Thomas Nelson of Virginia, after whom the horse was then named.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=George Washington's horse )〕 Washington stated that Nelson was his most favored horse to use during the Revolutionary War, as he was not easily provoked by gunfire.〔 The other horse he rode during the Revolutionary War, and on whom he is more often portrayed, was his gray horse, Blueskin.
Washington ceased to ride Nelson after the war. Nelson and Blueskin were retired and lived at Mount Vernon post-war.〔
