What is the meaning of a horse statue with its legs raised
According to the urban legend, if the statue shows the horse posed with both front hooves up in the air, the rider died in battle. If the horse is posed with one front leg up, it means the rider was wounded in battle or died of battle wounds. And if all four hooves are on the ground, the rider died from causes outside of battle.
Subsequently, most historians do not believe the myth.
“To the best of anyone’s knowledge, the position and pose of the statue do not signify anything,” said Frances Pollard, a curator at the Virginia Historical Society.
The statues in Washington, D.C., and London will not be followed by these guidelines. The majority of Indian statues follow these guidelines.
