Tally-ho
Tally-ho is the traditional cry made by the huntsman to tell others the quarry has been sighted. It may also be used with directions, including "away" and "back". First used in fox-hunting, it was adapted in the 19th century to describe some horse-drawn vehicles and in the 20th century to advise of enemy aircraft and space junk. Etymology Tally-ho dates from around 1772, and is probably derived from the French ''taïaut'', a cry used to excite hounds when hunting deer."Merriam-Webster Dictionary - Tallyho"
''Merriam-Webster Dictionary''. Referenced May 19, 2008. Taïaut may have originated in the second half of the 13th century by the concatenation of a two-word war-cry: ''taille haut''.

Horses In The United States
Horses have been an important component of American life and culture since the founding of the nation. In 2008, there were an estimated 9.2 million horses in the United States, with 4.6 million citizens involved in businesses related to horses. There are an estimated 82,000 feral horses that roam freely in the wild in certain parts of the country, mostly in the Western United States. While genus '' Equus'', of which the horse is a member, originally evolved in North America, these horse relatives became extinct on the continent approximately 8,000–12,000 years ago. In 1493, on Christopher Columbus' second voyage to the Americas, Spanish horses, representing '' E. caballus'', were brought back to North America, first to the Virgin Islands; they were introduced to the continental mainland by Hernán Cortés in 1519.

Quadriga
A () is a car or chariot drawn by four horses abreast and favoured for chariot racing in Classical Antiquity and the Roman Empire until the Late Middle Ages. The word derives from the Latin contraction of , from ': four, and ': yoke. The four-horse abreast arrangement in quadriga is distinct from the more common four-in-hand array of two horses in the front and two horses in the back. Quadriga was raced in the Ancient Olympic Games and other contests. It is represented in profile as the chariot of gods and heroes on Greek vases and in bas-relief. During the festival of the Halieia, the ancient Rhodians would sacrifice a quadriga by throwing it into the sea. The quadriga was adopted in ancient Roman chariot racing. Quadrigas were emblems of triumph; Victory or Fame often are depicted as the triumphant woman driving it. In classical mythology, the quadriga is the chariot of the gods; the god of the sun Helios (often identified with Apollo, the god of light) was depicted driv ...

The Fairman Rogers Four-in-Hand
''The Fairman Rogers Four-in-Hand'' (originally titled ''A May Morning in the Park'') is an 1879-80 painting by Thomas Eakins. It shows Fairman Rogers driving a coaching party in his four-in-hand carriage through Philadelphia's Fairmount Park. It is thought to be the first painting to examine precisely, through systematic photographic analysis, how horses move. ''The Fairman Rogers Four-in-Hand'' is in the permanent collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Rogers Eakins taught at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where Rogers was a board member and chairman of the Committee on Instruction.
