Lord Nelson (probably not the one you're thinking of).

World-renowned equine personality, professor and former mounted patrol horse, Lord Nelson, passed away on April 12 at Gales Way Farm in Wrightstown, New Jersey. Lord Nelson, who will be remembered as Rutgers University’s only equine professor emeritus, lived a distinguished life, full of adventure, up until the ripe age of 42 (the human equivalent of 126 years).

Lord Nelson will also be remembered as the first, and only, horse to ever receive an official football penalty in a NCAA football game.
