is it just a thinner copy of the The Red Horse of Tysoe?


Good question, the answer I feel is no. This was cut in 1838 to mark the coronation of Victoria, it is not unlike that cut at Marlborough in 1804 to mark the end of the war with France and the 600th anniversary of the Marlborough Charter of King John.
