What Happens To Army Horses After They Serve? | Forces TV

We have taken a look inside the Horse Trust, a home of rest which specialises in providing retirement and respite for working horses and ponies. There is a veterinarian, a farrier and even an equine dentist...

    How refreshing to see that these horses are respected and given carefully monitored retirement. Too often, here in America, horses are simply discarded and sent to auction, often sold to kill buyers. God Bless you British Military for honoring the service your horses have given to you. I wish the world could be a kinder place!

    Is that where they go? I thought they all went to my Grandparents. I had the most MAGICAL childhood. My Grandparents had this wonderful/ terrible habit of taking in the worn out, sick/ disabled and "untrainable" horses and ponies. My family has always been one month away from the poor house, but we always found ways to give these unwanted horses a loving home and top notch care. (The horses always got new shoes before we did😊) I've had everything from a blind pony, to a pony with liver cancer to a string of wild, untrained horses who all became my treasures. My Grandparents have both passed away now and the city is putting apartments where our farm was, but I will always have the memories and lessons I was lucky enough to have had. Along with the knowledge that my family and I gave great homes to countless horses (and dogs, cats, foxes, raccoons and a duck). 😊😊

    So, American Civil War reenactor here. The association I belong to includes two horse cavalry units and it takes a HELL of a lot of work to integrate a new mount into the troop. I'm told by the cavalry troopers [I'm infantry myself] that it can take up to three years to get a horse trained up to the point that they can be ridden in a skirmish with confidence. Not only is it becoming 'stable buddies' with the rest of the horses, but the flash of metal, the sound of musketry and cannon, and the pressure of cannon fire on sensitive noses and ears. But God, they add a lot to the spectacle of the show.

    Some of this comment section is just annoying me. BITS. ARE. NOT. ABUSIVE. Sure, if you use them wrong, they can be, but bits are just a thing to help the horse move. English riding mouth-reins, meaning with some pressure on the bit, it encourages the horse to move. It’s a nudge for the direction of the horse. It’s taught pretty early on how much bit you should have control of to keep the horse comfortable, and they even make different types of bits to find the one most comfortable for that specific horse. Bits aren’t abusive.

    Race horses are a different temperament, they are skiddish and prone to bite or kick… not their fault, it’s how they’re breed, to be quick and light on their feet… a friend of mine used to try to get horses from the tracks if one just wasn’t making the grade but out of all the trainers after hearing her goal was pasturing these horses and giving them a mellowed retirement, only two went to the owners and she paid minimally for them… 2 out of the potential 200+, not a good ratio…

    I visited that place last week actually. The horses there are gorgeous. ☺They even care for some donkeys and Shetland ponies. So happy they're being cared for. However, bits on lead ropes? That's a bit harsh, especially since some horses there were in their late 20's! Oh well, this is what we get in the equestrian world... By the way. People are complaining on why they're in stalls, this is becuase they let people visit there and pet the horses. There are pastures around the place so I highly doubt they're kept in there all the time since it is opened for visitors from Thursday to Sunday, a chance to let the horses out.

They didn't shoot the horses, except he did have to shoot several culls for the German POWs to butcher to feed the dogs. The butchers usually kept some meat to eat extra too

    Are these wonderful horses ever offered up for sale/loan/part-loan to the general public. My paternal Grandfather, who I never met him, as he died of a cancerous war injury when my mother was only 11 years old, was in the RA (Royal Highlanders / Scots Dragoon I think) and I have inherited the love of army horses - especially the Cleveland Bays and the Drummers! Now that I am of retirement age (or close enough) I am looking to buy/loan/part-loan such a horse to have some fun adventures with.

    I've trained with horses for, at least 5 years since I was little, and I've been studying horses and you've gotta remain calm and let the horse have the bit, don't pull hard and don't let the horse go. The horse will be more prone to not follow orders if you are scared, and please don't yell at them, they have 10x more hearing than humans and that could startle them. I'm sure you are trained professionals, but, you still have to remember how horses react to certain things like yelling, hard pulling, and your emotions. Thank you for your services and I hope I am not annoying. Cheers!
