Bolivar - nicknamed horse that could save two friends, but one of them, named Dodson, nicknamed Shark, threw another and saved himself.
In his defense, he said: "I'm sorry, Bill, what's your Bay broke her leg, but Bolivar could not bear two! ..".
Later, when Dodson became a major employer, these words became his motto, which he was guided in its relations with its business partners.
Allegorically: either you or I; must win one person.
Appearance of the horse in the story is not described, we only know that it is old.

- Bolivar could not bear two ... - Bolivar could not bear even one! This I say to you, Bolivar!
The most courageous horse - Bucephalus - horse of Alexander the Great (356-323 BC).
In Greek his nickname means "bychegolovy."
According to the Greek historian Plutarch ("Comparative biography"), only a great military leader Alexander the Great could tame his horse.
Macedonian King Philip II bought a horse for his son Alexander, but the horse turned out to be a wild temper and travel around it no one could.
Alexander (he was 12 years old) realized that Bucephalus is afraid of shadows, and turned his horse snout to the sun.
After that, the horse allowed to sit on themselves and from that time, only Alexander could ride it.
The smallest horse - Humpbacked Horse "growth only three inches on the back with two humps but with a yardstick ears."

As you know, Nikolai Mikhailovich Przewalski went to Tibet for the truth and found the horse.
In addition to strength, the animals are characterized by exceptional intelligence and high socialization.
In periods of severe frost, when the paste was still impossible, adult horses became tightly around the foals and debilitated individuals and warmed them with his breath.
On hot days, they turned the other way round snouts out of the circle and actively waving their tails.
It is not known whether they help to cool it, but to deal with insects so obviously more convenient.
By the way, Przewalski, a prominent Russian researcher Asia, it never went. Painfully wild.
Most thankless horse - horse Prophetic Oleg.

In the same "song" has no name horse, but in the legend of Varyag Odda, with which is associated legend of Prince Oleg, a horse named Fax - "mane".

Inside built Epeem horse hid a few characters, and Achaean army, lost ships, sailed to the island Tendos. The Trojans have decided that the siege of Troy to be charged, and believed the word spy Sinon that the Trojan horse by the Achaeans to appease Athena, and that will make owning a horse of Troy impregnable, moved his horse into the city, destroying the part of the fortress wall. In vain priest Laoco?n urged the Trojans that this should not be done.

On the eve of the races on the racetrack or in the circus games in the streets of Rome sent hundreds of soldiers, that they brought to the attention of the Romans order to keep quiet until the morning to Intsitatus could sleep. I must say that in those days the traffic in Rome was so intense that the carts with groceries were forbidden to appear there in the afternoon in order to avoid "traffic jams", so they scurried through the streets of the Eternal City at night, making a terrible noise. And for the sake of the horse Romans left without food!
Purple harness, adorned with precious stones, and pearl necklace worn by Intsitatus were only a small part of his personal treasures. His boss gave him a palace, laden with expensive furniture, where many slaves were busy. He wanted to noblemen came to his horse in the guests ate and drank at his desk and invited his horse in their homes. But this has fallen into madness emperor was not enough! Caligula decided that the Senate shall appoint his horse a consul. This was too much! Hereas, tribunes of the Praetorian Guard, put an end to this madness, plunging a dagger into the chest of the emperor.
