Now that *is* huge...
walking under the horse with my mother, we looked up and -- oh, yes! -- the
horse is male . . .
So is Jan III Sobieski's one :) I've never been close enough to the Poniatowski statue (was on the same website, but closer to the top), as it's not easily approachable, but I'd bet *that* horse is male also... Come to think about it... I can't remember any of the famous battle horses being female (yes, there *was* Rosinante, but she was a "battlehorse" only in Don Quixote's dreams <g>). Yet, some of them *had* to be, by the laws of nature and statistics. Is it another instance of females being "unsung" and discriminated against?
