150cm = 15 hands. That’s a big horse for the era. It also sounds like someone was in the stall with him. You don’t leave tack in the stall with a horse.

Normanlly, but someone may have been in a big hurry to get away, then the horse succumbed first.

I thought that too. Someone was there and may have dropped the tack and made a run for it.

When there's volcanic eruption nearby it sort of, uh, behooves you to run for it.

Imagine the surprise of the first bettors at the Hippodrome, when they learned they were watching chariot races involving horses, instead of hippos.

Don't give him any ideas... "This horse casting is associated with a Trump company, because Trump has vacationed in Naples in the past."
