Grant was said to have made this remark about naming horses, "You should never name an animal you might have to eat." But it this seems out of keeping with his close tie to horses. His close emotional connection to these animals was marked by several people from his mother to an instructor at West Point. And this link mentions several with names from Kangaroo to Cincinnati, his mount in the statue at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC.

General Ulysses S Grant's most famous horse, which he used during the American Civil War, was Cincinnati (1860-1878 - 18yrs). This is the horse most pictured in photographs and statues of Gen. Grant, and it is the horse he rode to the surrender at Appomattox Court House (April 09, 1865).
Grant had many horses over the course of the war...one of the most "beloved" was a son of the great Thoroughbred Lexington. This horse's name was Cincinnati...

He also had two Arabian horses, Leopard and Linden.

Three horses that survived the war and ended up in the White House were Cincinnati,
