What did Mr. Lincoln enjoy doing?

[Eva Elisabeth]

Donna,
seeing the later pitures of Mary it's not so easy to imagine her dashing side saddle in gallopp....Did she go fast on horseback or just at walking pace?

Bill,
I can't find the source right now, but I read several times that Lincoln enjoyed horseriding. During his presidency, he went to the Soldiers' Home on horseback while the others went by carriage, and, whenever possible, he took a ride in the afternoon for recreation, often toghether with Orville Browning. Also he alledgedly loved horses (animals in general), especially his "Old Tom".
