Centaurs in 18th century north america Earth, would often take a well paying job of the nicely dressed safety escort/servant. Remington took this job. This job entailed carrying one or more moderate to high paying men or women anywhere they please at any time, whether it be 2 in the day, or 2 in the morning. It may be helping them escape a pillaging (because often times, despite the fact they were well dressed and seemed dutiful, they did not abide to law), or it may be trotting them to the outhouse at night as to not get their feet muddy or grassy. They also often carried weapons, and satchels of goods/needed materials/healthcare items. The benefit of having a mount with two hands and a human mind, is that they could patch you up, feed you, and fight off enemies (and do the fighting while scurrying you off). You could add pack to them too, on their haunches, though you'd have to ask, unlike a normal horse.

Not all examples of Victorian hairwork are memorials, but this one is. 

This shadow box was made in memory of a little girl who died in 1884 at age 5 and contains a tiny floral bouquet woven from her hair. It was likely made by her mother.
