Note, Bold Billy's cuddy is the correct colour here, a  dark bay mare named Meg,  in 1696/97 he did acquire a white horse, White Sorrel bred in Northumberland.

White Sorrel was bred at Wallington Hall, in Northumberland, and had been owned by Sir John Fenwick, who as early as 1689 was implicated in plots against King William. Arrested and arraigned, he was imprisoned in Newgate and, refusing to name other conspirators, was subjected to bills of attainder. The law that demanded the evidence of two witnesses in cases of treason was set aside so no jury was assembled and the estates and possessions of the accused were forfeit to the Crown. Fenwick was executed on Tower Hill on 28 January 1697. His horse became the property of the king.
