"A Drum Horse" is a painting by the British artist Ernest Crofts, created in the late 19th or early 20th century. Crofts, known for his historical and military subjects, often depicted scenes from British history with a particular focus on the Napoleonic Wars. "A Drum Horse" portrays a military drum horse, a type of horse used by cavalry regiments to carry large kettle drums during parades and ceremonies. These horses were typically large and strong, often of the Shire breed, and were trained to tolerate the noise of the drums and the chaos of military environments.

The painting captures the majesty and disciplined presence of the drum horse, likely set against a military or ceremonial backdrop. The drum horse would be adorned with richly decorated trappings, including the regimental colors and insignia, reflecting the pride and tradition of the unit to which it belonged. Crofts' attention to detail in the horse's harness, the gleam of the brass drums, and the textures of the horse's coat would all contribute to the realism and historical accuracy for which he was known.

Ernest Crofts' work was well-regarded in his time, and he became an associate of the Royal Academy in 1878, later becoming a full member in 1896. His paintings are part of several collections, including those of military institutions and public galleries. "A Drum Horse" would be of interest to those studying military history, equine art, and the Victorian era's artistic interpretations of historical and ceremonial subjects.
