I never thought I would get a chance to "cross-reference" my information between LM_NET and another listserv to which I belong, EQUINE-L, but "hooves" gave me the chance. I posted the question to E-L and got some additional information to that already provided: One response indicated that the whole thing about the number of lifted hooves was purely a myth (as reported a few years ago in the Washington Post). Another said it represented the number of wounds received in battle. Yet another said it has something to do with a swrod wound versus a bullet wound. Apparently Shelby Foote addresses it in one of his Civil War books, so anyone wanting more information might check there.
