Where Veteran Horses Retire After They’ve Served
Рет қаралды 237,964
8 жыл бұрынThe United States Army has horses that are up for adoption. The retiring horses were once part of the Old Guard Caisson Platoon, where they led military funerals, pageants, memorials and parades. When the horses retire, they need a place to go, so the Caisson Adoption Project helps pair them with a perfect home. Here’s how the horse Quincy came to live with George Whitaker, a fellow retired veteran.

As a native of Massachusetts, it's a pleasure to see one of our New England veterans, George, taking care of this beautiful horse.

Such a cute horse, he reminds me of my mare who died; holding up his tale and responding to the man so gently

The very first horse I ever rode was a Quarter Horse. His name was Pogo and he was a very smart horse. Quincy looks just like him. I wish him and his wonderful human family the best

Does he get to go out in grass paddocks? I hope so. After a lifetime in stables it would be good to.know he has freedom to act like a.horse. I see him in a dirt enclosure but not on grass?

No they don’t my friends and family are very involved in Quarter Horse Racing which is very different from the Thoroughbred circuit but in both most horses if they perform well go on to be the sires (father) and dams(mother) of the next generation

All you fucking people don't appreciate how lucky you are horses and men sacrificed them self so you could have freedom it wasn't just men that died during the world wars it was there horses too. And did you know horses helped Lewis and Clark get through the Rocky Mountains to get to the Pacific Ocean without then you and me would be nothing
