Custer had 2 favorite horses. Vic and Dandy. Vic was a Kentucky thoroughbred and a battle horse. Vic although was high spirited had speed and quickness for fast charges and maneuverings of battle. Most feel Vic was killed along with Custer; used as a shield against the indians, while others feel Vic went AWOL. Dandy was an extra mount and used as a pack horse. Dandy survived the attack on Reno Hill. Dandy was a sturdy little horse and could stand heat or cold and travel miles without exhaustion. Dandy was sent to Mrs. Custer in Monroe, Michigan and she gave the horse to Custer's father. Dandy was 25 years old when he died on Custer Sr.'s and buried in the orchard.

∙ 13y agoCuster had two cavalry mounts. "Dandy" and "Vic" ( for victory) Dandy was left at Fort Abraham Lincoln when Custer's command was ordered to move against
the hostiles. After the death of his son "Dandy" was given to Custer's father in
Monroe, Michigan. Custer rode "Vic" into action at the Little Bighorn. "Vic" was either killed in action or was taken by the indians. More than likely he was killed.
