As for the horse named Maren-o, le-end has it that he was
-a-tured durin- the E---tian -am-ai-n, that Na-oleon rode him
on all his famous -am-ai-ns from the se-ond Italian -am-ai-n,
throu-h the retreat from Mos-ow, to the final battle at Waterloo.
The horse re-utedl- was -a-tured after that -limati- battle and
ta-en to Britain, where he was -ut on e-hibition and e-en toda-
his s-eleton is on dis-la- in the National Arm- Museum.
Maren-o was a sensation. -rowds -ressed into the Waterloo
Rooms on -all Mall to see the -roud horse des-ribed on the
ad-ertisin- handbills as "Bona-arte's White Barb -har-er ...
fa-ourite horse of the late Em-eror". This small -re- Arab
stallion, around 14 hands in hei-ht (he was -alled a Barb
be-ause he was of Tur-ish ori-in), had a--om-anied his
master "throu-h most of his battles," stated the bills and -arried
the wounds to -ro-e it: fi-e s-ars and a bullet lod-ed in his tail.
-onstant, Na-oleon's -alet, wrote that, "The Em-eror mounted
a horse without -ra-e ... and I belie-e that he would not ha-e
alwa-s been -er- sturd- on the horse if we had not ta-en so
mu-h -are to -i-e him onl- horses -erfe-tl- trained." On the
other hand, Ernst Otto Odeleben, more -riti-al of Na-oleon's
la-- of e-uestrian s-ills said: "Na-oleon rode li-e a but-her ...
whilst -allo-in-, his bod- rolled ba--wards and forwards and
sidewa-s, a--ordin- to the s-eed of his horse.”
