Story

Black Jack served as a riderless horse in U.S. full-honors military funerals, symbolising the absent rider.

The archive records both the ceremonial meaning and the animal’s own life of training, labour, retirement and death.

Black Jack is archived because animals can become central carriers of public mourning and ritual memory.
