BLUESKIN
George Washington had two horses he used in battle: Blueskin and Nelson. This design features the more skittish of the two, named Blueskin. The tree they are standing under is a bit of a twist on George's legendary (if fictitious) cherry tree. (George is not in uniform, as this design shows him enjoying retirement with his loyal friend.)
