Copenhagen, The Duke of Wellington's celebrated War horse was born in 1808 and died on 12th February 1836 on The Duke's Estate at Stratfield Saye House, aged 28 years. He was described as 'a dark chestnut with two white heels, a hollow-back powerful horse'. Wellington said of Copenhagen 'There may have been many faster horses, no doubt many handsomer, but for bottom and endurance I never saw his fellow'. After serving his master well in battle he became a treasured pet although still ridden by The Duke on State occasions and even ridden up to the door of 10 Downing Street by The Duke when he became Prime Minister in 1828. When Copenhagen died in 1836, he was buried with full military honours in the Ice House Paddock at Stratfield Saye with a memorial stone marking the spot
