How Long Did George Washington Ride His Horse?

2,986 views • September 16, 2019
As the main mode of transportation, horses had a very different place in society during George Washington's time. Instead of riding for a few hours at a time like today, Washington and other 18th century equestrians would have ridden all day long. Damara Gailliot, Mount Vernon's Livestock Handler, explains. #AskMountVernon Learn more about Washington the equestrian: https://www.mountvernon.org/george-washington/farming/the-animals-on-george-washingtons-farm/horses/
