Where Veteran Horses Retire After They’ve Served
The 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. What did you think?

I’ve now seen a reason for treasured retired horses to keep
a quality of life until they die.
They are Blessed..!

That’s a good question, Rita. Think he should! Though he fortunately has a wonderful home and will be loved and well taken care of.

What a lovely story and what a shame all Horses aren’t treated with such care and the love they deserve
