Let me look this up, Laurie. The "injury" on the roan, Charley, was NOT due to a fall, but from a saddle rubbing his shoulder. Charley was a "ladies' horse", meaning that he was usually saddled with a side saddle for ladies to ride. Side saddles have a larger "skirt"; thus the side saddle had rubbed his shoulder, causing an injury. It was not due to a fall.... I have this in my file and will look it up. I think the testimony was given by Fletcher at the 1867 Surratt trial.
