Miss Mary, a chestnut hunter at Badminton

Miss Mary was one of the horses ridden by Field Marshal Lord Raglan in the Crimea.
'To the roll of drums and the melancholy music of the Dead March the horses moved off and the gun-carriage rumbled forward on its way down to the seat at Kazatch. General Pélissier and General della Marmora rode on one side, General Simpson and Omar Pasha on the other. Behind them walked Lord Raglan's favourite horse, Miss Mary, saddled and riderless...' (C. Hibbert, The Destruction of Lord Raglan, 1961, p. 295).
