Question: What name is often associated with the horse Paul Revere borrowed for his midnight ride?
Answer: Brown Beauty. Paul Revere did not own the horse he rode during his midnight ride—he borrowed it from John Larkin. In his own accounts, Revere never named the horse, describing it only as “a very good horse,” and no contemporary records provide a name. Over time, various names have been suggested, but the only one with any documented backing is Brown Beauty, which appears in a 1930 Larkin family genealogy describing the mare loaned for the ride.
