The pose of the horse in a statue is not simply an artist's conception. If you see a statue of a person on a horse with both front legs of the horse in the air, it means that the person died in battle. One front leg in the air signifies that the person died as a result of the wounds received in battle. If all 4 legs of the horse rest on the ground, the person died of natural causes.
