And speaking of John Hunt Morgan, I pass his statue nearly every day on the way home from work. His horse was a mare, yet the statue's sculptor believed that "no hero should be atop a mare," and he added a couple of things to its undercarriage. It is not uncommon for local rogues to paint the bits 'n' pieces, sometimes in UK blue, in protest, although I haven't seen it done in quite a while.

"No hero should be atop a mare"... hmmm. I'm too much of a lady to make a joke about that one.
