3. Cincinnati
Cincinnati was one of the three famous war horses owned by American Civil war general and later President Ulysses S. Grant. He was the son of Lexington, one of the fastest horses in America that time. A gift to Grant from an admirer during the American Civil War, Cincinnati accompanied the General in a number of campaigns, and was his favourite. Grant is depicted riding Cincinnati in most of his memorials. The legendary Abraham Lincoln was also an admirer of Cincinnati, whom he used to ride every day. The horse died in 1878 at the farm of Admiral Daniel Ammen, located in Maryland.
