OK guys, 2 more days and I will give you the answer...

 

[Napoleon1er]

His name was Tauris, and he was a gift from Tsar Alexander of Russia.

 

[Iron Duke]

His name was Tauris, and he was a gift from Tsar Alexander of Russia.

I'm sure you nailed it , but what happened to ''Wagram?''. That was the horse he brought with him on his way to Elba. Did he leave it on the island?^&confuse

Correct answer Sandor! Tauris is the one. Some sources I found said that he bought it in Russia but others said that the Tsar gave it to him as a gift. He rode it when entering Moscow, when crossing the Berezina and at Waterloo.

Iron Duke, yes Napoléon took Wagram with him on Elba. Could not find what happened to that horse after.
