the horses name was black jack...funny how that stuff sticks in your head.
taps is always mournful, but i don't know that i've ever heard a more heart-wrenching rendition then the one for jfk.
iirc, arlington has two teams of horses, one set black, and one white, and they use them on alternate days. seems like they were on 'white horse' day, but the family or the white house had requested the black horses be used.
