Bankes's Horse
Marocco (c. 1586 – c. 1606), widely known as Bankes's Horse (after his trainer William Bankes), was the name of a late 16th- and early 17th-century English performing horse. He is sometimes referred to as the "Dancing Horse", the "Thinking Horse", or the "Politic Horse".
==Origin==
William Bankes (also spelled Banks or Banckes, and sometimes called Richard Bankes) was born in Staffordshire, probably in the early 1560s,〔 In the 1580s he became a retainer of Robert Devereux, the Earl of Essex; his job may have been working in the stables.〔
The horse that would be named Marocco was born around 1586; most sources agree he was bay, but some record him as white.〔 Soon thereafter he was obtained by Bankes, who named him after the morocco leather from which contemporary saddles were made,〔 and jocularly addressed him as "seignior" (''señor'').〔 According to modern English physician and writer Jan Bondeson, "Marocco was a small, muscular horse with remarkable litheness and agility; he also proved particularly intelligent and easy to educate."〔
