Dear all

When discussing the Roman horse burial discovered just to the south of Caesaromagus (in the 'Towns of Roman Britain'), John Wacher states that it is common even today for the hooves of a favourite animal to be saved and mounted as mementoes after death. I am involved in the recording of a horse skeleton which has had the phalanxes of the right fore leg removed and would like to have some other examples of this practise to compare it with. Can anyone point me in the right direction, please.

many thanks
