horse n' stuff

Bucephalus was originally brought to King Philip II 346 BC, by Philoneicus of Thessaly for triple the price, the king ordered it to be sent away, but Alexander tamed the wild horse, allowing for Alexander to keep the horse. Bucephalus only allowed Alexander to ride him, and Alexander rode him into every battle he ever fought. There are multiple theories about how Bucephalus died but most agree he died of old age after the Battle of Hydaspes River 326 BC. There is not much more about the horse and his relationship with Alexander. I have seen a horse in person but never ridden one.
