7. Kasztanka
Kasztanka was the famous horse which belonged to Polish war hero Marshal Jozef Pilsudski. Her name means chestnut in Polish, a fact that attributes to her colour. She had been owned by Ludwik Popiel, and came under the ownership of Pilsudski in 1914. She carried her master in many battles of Polish Legions at the side of Austro-Hungary and Germany during the First World War. Pilsudski rode Kasztanka for the final time on 11 November 1927, at the Polish Independence Day parade on Saxon Square, Warsaw. Kasztanka died on 23 November 1927.
