Blueskin (horse)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Blueskin was a gray horse ridden by George Washington. He was one of Washington's two primary mounts during the American Revolutionary War. The horse was a half-Arabian, sired by the stallion "Ranger", also known as "Lindsay's Arabian", said to have been obtained from the Sultan of Morocco.[1][2]
Blueskin, due to his white hair coat, was the horse most often portrayed in artwork depicting Washington on a horse.[3] Washington's other primary riding horse was Nelson, a chestnut gelding said to be calmer under fire than Blueskin. Both horses were retired after the Revolutionary War and lived out their lives at Mount Vernon.[4]
