A riderless horse is a single horse without a rider and with boots reversed in the stirrups, which sometimes accompanies a funeral procession. The horse, sometimes caparisoned in black, follows the caisson carrying the casket.[1] A riderless horse can also be featured in parades (military, police or civilian) to symbolize either fallen soldiers, fallen police officers or deceased equestrian athletes.[2] A motorcycle can be used as a substitute for a horse though such practice is very rare.[3][4]
