Near Marlborough Farm Camp outside Kineton, a spectral white horse has been reported repeatedly jumping the very same hedge on separate occasions, its ghostly form attributed by local tradition to Prince Rupert of the Rhine, the dashing and famously reckless Royalist cavalry commander who led the King's own horse at the nearby Battle of Edgehill in October 1642, one of the opening major engagements of the entire English Civil War.
What makes this particular attribution genuinely unusual within this collection is that Rupert himself actually survived the war entirely and went on to live for several more decades afterward, a long and eventful life that took him well beyond the battlefield where his ghost is now said to ride. This makes the attachment of his name to a battlefield-adjacent phantom horse a matter of pure reputation and folklore rather than a ghost tied to his own actual death, the way the great majority of named battlefield apparitions recorded elsewhere in this collection typically are.
The hedge itself, jumped again and again by the same spectral white horse, offers no further narrative beyond that single repeated action, a phantom rider's famous wartime daring apparently distilled down to one endlessly repeated jump rather than any fuller re-enactment of his actual documented military career at Edgehill.
