Hi and welcome! So glad that you've joined us! I haven't the slightest clue as to what happened to the horses, but @Equestriangirl93 might be able to point you in the right direction to someone who would know.
Good question. I don't know the answer but if there is one to be found, someone here is most likely to find it!
Welcome to CWT from the Games & Miniatures forum!
I have done the John Wilkes Booth Escape tour out of DC. It was wonderful. It was suggested by one of the guides that the horses lived out their lives on a farm. Not sure where he read that. He thought that shooting them would have alerted people and also the smell might have given booth away. But this guide was not 100% sure.
Welcome from the Ancestry forum! Looks like @infomanpa has the answer! If nobody had answered yet, my suggestion was going to be to check Kauffman's American Brutus. He's got a lot of good information on Booth and the Lincoln Assassination, too.Can anyone tell me what happened to the horses Booth and Herald used to get out of The Capital?
