As it’s what’s widely considered to be “America’s birthday” today, let us look back fondly on John Horsecock, the first man-horse hybrid to actually sign the Declaration of Horsependence (maybe on July 4, 1776, but more likely it was signed much later). Horsecock was a merchant, stateshorse, and prominent Patriot of the Horse Revolution. He served as president of the Second Continental Horsegress and was the first and third Governor of the Commonwealth of Horseachusetts. He is remembered for his large and stylish mane, as well as his signature on the United Horses Declaration of Horsependence.
