How do I tell the fate of the rider when looking at statues of war generals riding horses?

Under law punishable by death, all horse statues featuring war generals must adhere to a strict code as the fate of the rider can be determined through how many hooves a horse has on the ground in the sculpture.

Four legs on the ground
This means that the war general has been in battle, but was not impressed with it. He realized he could die at any second, but nothing cool happened to fill that time. He was sent home after the war was over without any interesting war stories, and became a disappointment to his immediate family.

One leg in the air
The war general on this horse is most likely tepid in nature, and unsure of himself in comparison to other war generals. Once he finds something he is passionate about, like say the burning of Atlanta, he will attach himself to it until it gets done. Though he is a go-getter in spurts, he is consistently a devil in the sack.

Two Legs in the air
While having two legs in the air is considered trampish in most social circles, it is not the same in the majestic world of horse-statues, as having two legs in the air means that the war general loved to fuck. Wait, I screwed that up. In any case, two hoofers are social beings who love the night life. These war generals are party animals by heart, but if they met the right person, would be more than willing to toss his old life aside to start something new. Also, they are very messy by nature.

Three Legs in the air
This war general will admit he's made mistakes. There are times where he knows he should have called you and times where he should have stayed home with you instead of going out with the guys. He's really sorry, and you know he's sorry. Why not just give him another chance. Ok, whatever. It's not like you were perfect or anything. Oh don't pull that bullshit with me. I know all about Chad. You think I'm that oblivious? Well, don't think there weren't other women. Talk to Stephanie. Maybe you can take some pointers.

Four Legs in the air
After the epic Jupiter War ended in 2070, war generals are commemorated by being sculpted on their hover-horse. As you can expect, these men are very distant to other people, and are often forever lost in a haze that the war has thrown them into. No one told them what they would be fighting, though they would have appreciated a heads-up that the giant ant monsters could morph their face into those of the generals' mothers, kids, and first times.
