Title
John Solomon Rarey
Description

John Solomon Rarey, taming the stallion 'Cruiser', observed by onlookers.

American-born Rarey (1827-1866) was famous for his ability to tame unruly or dangerous horses by humane means. In 1858 he was summoned to Windsor Castle, where Queen Victoria watched in amazement as he calmed one of her horses. He was then set the challenge to tame the most ferocious horse in the country; a former racehorse named 'Cruiser'. Rarey took just three hours to calm the horse in its stable, upon which the owners presented him with Cruiser as a gift. Rarey took the now docile Cruiser back to the United States, where the horse eventually died in 1875
