Name That Statue

We just got back from a wonderful trip to celebrate Thanksgiving with Paul's brother's family in Westchester County, N.Y. We did some sightseeing in N.Y.C., and came across this statue. I asked my brother-in-law who it was and he didn't know. It's where the carriage horses line up at the entrance to Central Park.  I didn't know exactly what to do when I found out who this statue represents. I needed to be polite, but I felt sort of like I should, well, burn something. Click on the photo to enlarge.

One more hint and I'll give it away. You guess.
