9. Cincinnati

Cincinnati was one of the three famous warhorses owned by American Civil war general and later President Ulysses S. Grant. Cincinnati was the son of Lexington, one of the fastest horses in America. He was a gift to the president from an admirer and therefore he was Grant’s most favourite. Grant is depicted riding Cincinnati in most of his memorials. In fact, even Abraham Lincoln rode on Cincinnati and admired him for his speed.
