What is Abraham Lincoln’s Horse?

Abraham Lincoln’s horse represents nobility and duty. As Abraham Lincoln rides to and away from the cemetery on his horse, much observation is made of the animal by other characters. The cemetery guard observes that the animal appears quite regal and proud to serve as Lincoln’s steed, and when Havens merges with the animal, he remarks upon its simple and wholesome demeanor. The horse’s devotion to Lincoln appears to parallel Lincoln’s devotion to his country, for both Lincoln and the horse are willing to forego their personal comfort and needs for the service of some greater good.
