Horse Memorial, Bronze monument in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.

The Horse Memorial is a life-sized bronze sculpture of a kneeling soldier holding a bucket of water to a service horse, cast by Cox and Company of Thames Ditton. It stands on a granite plinth whose base incorporates a drinking trough for horses and cattle, with an inscription on the front.

A ladies committee led by Harriet Meyer raised £800 for the London firm Whitehead and Sons to create the memorial, unveiled on 11 February 1905 by Port Elizabeth mayor Alexander Fettes. It was first placed near St George's Park and moved to Cape Road in the 1950s. On 6 April 2015 it was vandalised during protests linked to the Rhodes Must Fall campaign.

The memorial shows how soldiers depended on their horses as partners during military service in South Africa. Visitors can see this bond reflected in the sculptured figure of a soldier kneeling beside his animal companion.

The memorial is located at the intersection of Russell Road and Cape Road, making it easy to reach on foot. The site is accessible at any time and offers clear views from the surrounding area.

An inscription on the memorial reads: "The greatness of a nation consists not so much in the number of its people as in the quality of its animals". This unusual statement shows how deeply the society valued the contribution of these creatures.
