Palomo

Palomo was a famous tall white war horse ridden by Simon Bolivar, on his campaigns of national liberation in South America. It was given to him by a peasant in 1819 who had a dream it would be his horse. Horses had their manes plaited, so a warriors sword would not be entangled during a battle. Palomo means Dove or Pigeon.
