Sorry if this have been posted.

Thanks, again, Nena.

And, I'd really like to know where you found this photo?

You're very welcome! I found it somewhere here, or from friend, I am not sure.

The IF were such animal lovers and is one reason why I always liked them so much. So touchiing that they took their pets into exile with them and would not be parted, even in death.

Nena! You want see this glade today?

AGRBear · « **Reply #279 on:** November 02, 2008, 08:22:33 AM »

I think we may see more than one dog. I've found two. Possibly a third but the shadows makes it impossible to tell.

Good link, nena -- two photos of Olga were new to me:
Olga and her regiment

How attached were the grand duchesses to their horses?

That is good question, I don't know. IMO, they loved horses:
Olga Nicholaievna:

AGRBear · « **Reply #283 on:** November 10, 2008, 10:14:58 AM »

Do you have photos of the other grand duchesses on horses?

Olga's mount is a real beauty.

Is there any information about the Romanov's horses such as the breeding stock, where they were raised, etc. etc. etc. ?

I do remember posting about the Romanov's Horse Cemetery, however, I'd like to learn more about the horses when they were alive :>)

According to Trewin's book, House of Special Purpose, Aleksei's dog Shot accompanied the IF to Tobolsk. Apparently he played the role of a poodle in a one-act farce, "The Crystal Gazer." The photo nena posted on 18 October showing a dog in the fenced yard of the governor's house in Tobolsk also appears in House of Special Purpose.

As for horses, Olga's 1913 diary mentions a few of the IF's mounts by name. For their regimental exercises on 5 August, Olga rode Regent and Tatiana rode Robino.
