Here is a chance honor them as they deserve, with
the poignant and moving ceremony of the riderless horse and military escort.
The tradition of the hand-led riderless horse has a long history dating back
to Roman times and is as moving today as it ever was. Reversing the boots
in the stirrups signify that the honored one will never ride again.
We can present this age-old tradition with grace and dignity in a variety of
uniforms. The horse will be led in front of the carriage or hearse bringing
vividly home the powerful image of the fallen hero's last ride.
Additional mounted escorts can be provided as needed.
