Should be the three horses on the right side...they were used to carry supplies, the horses on the left carried the soldiers responsible for moving the supplies forward.

Three of the six horses are riderless. The three riderless horses traditionally carried supplies.

This is my first Presidential Procession I have seen as well. Nixon did not have one.

The last funeral of this size was for Lyndon B. Johnson, in 1973. Before that, it was John F. Kennedy.
President Nixon asked to have a smaller service.
