5. Palomo

Palomo was the horse of Simon Bolivar, the ‘liberator’ of Latin America. He was a present to Bolivar from an elder peasant woman named Casilda who, according to the local lore, dreamed of gifting a horse to a great general. Palomo is described as a tall white horse with a long tail. Since their meeting in 1819, Bolivar rode him on many campaigns during the liberation struggle. Palomo died after a long march, while under the care of one of Bolivar’s officers. Its horseshoes are displayed at the Museum of Mulaló.
