Great war horses are measured not in hands, but in herosim. Described as a "pony" by historians, the chestnut gelding named Little Texas by his rider, future US President Theodore Roosevelt, will always stand tall in national memory as the horse who bravely led the charge of the first US Volunteer Cavalry in one of the fiercest battles of the 1898 Spanish American War: The Battle Of San Juan Hill. This true horse hero is a great item for history buffs.
