USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Revere calls it simply “a very good horse.” In the years since 1775 many names have been attached to the animal, the most exotic probably being Scheherazade. The only name for which there is any evidence, however, is Brown Beauty.

Detailed explanation-2: -Paul Revere didn’t own a horse. The one he rode on his famous ride was loaned to him by the family of John Larkin (deacon of the Old North Church in Charlestown, Massachusetts) and its name and breed have never been established.

Detailed explanation-3: -A borrowed horse served as his worthy steed on the night of April 18, 1775. Not only is it unlikely Revere owned a horse at the time, but he would not have been able to transport it out of Boston across the Charles River.
