U.S. President Donald Trump did not remember that a pewter horse among the exhibits was actually a gift he and First Lady Melania Trump gave Queen Elizabeth during a trip last year, The People reported.

The first couple was touring pieces from the Royal Collection in the Picture Gallery at Buckingham Palace when they came across the horse where it was sitting on a red table, according to the pool of reporters covering the trip.

Tim Knox, the Royal Collection’s director, said later that the president at first did not remember the horse’s history.

“We just asked him whether he recognized it and he said no but the first lady did recognize it, which is rather nice,” Knox recalled to reporters.

“One horse is very much like another,” Knox explained. “[Mrs. Trump] recognized it. She said, ‘Oh yeah, yeah, this is one of ours.’

The source reminds that the horse was a gift from the Trumps to the Queen during the president’s working visit last summer. An official invitation for a state visit, which entails much pomp and ceremony, was extended in 2017 not long after the president was sworn in — but the trip was repeatedly delayed.
