The Copper Horse
The Long Walk runs south from Windsor Castle to Snow Hill, where there is a statue of George III on horseback. He is depicted as a Roman Emperor riding without stirrups. It was commissioned by George IV and bears the ironic inscription in Latin: the best of fathers. The two Georges hated one another.
