It’s timeeeeee

Horse-Soldier Equine a non-profit dedicated to retired Military Working Equines is pleased to announce that it is a Corporate Sponsor for the 37th Annual Bataan Commemorative March! We honor the courage and sacrifice of the 12,000 American and 63,000 Filipino Soldiers forced to endure captivity under Japanese conquest of the Philippines. An estimated 10,000 Soldiers died on the brutal 60 mile march into captivity. In honor of the 26th US Cavalry (Philippine Scouts) which was destroyed in the unequal struggle at Bataan, Horse-Soldier Equine will parade retired Military Working Equine Reagan formerly from Arlington Cemetery, at the start and finish line of the White Sands Missile Range event to honor the sacrifice of all allied Soldiers who perished. He will be outfitted in authentic 26th Cavalry livery and led by SSG Hampson, from the Fort Sam Houston Caisson Platoon, as a caparisoned horse. “No federal endorsement implied.”

First day of Winter 🐴❄️

Today is the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, but that means the days only get longer for the next 6 months ☀️ We hope you, your families, and your horses stay warm this holiday season!

Pictured is the now defunct Fort Carson Mounted Color Guard. One of the purposes of our Association is to highlight the remaining units and help them any way we can to ensure they’re still around for the next generation. We do this through social media highlights, putting on training and competitions, and being a resource for them to use!

Pearl Harbor Day ⚓️

“A date which will live in infamy.” 83 years ago President Franklin D. Roosevelt addressed the nation following an attack on Pearl Harbor by Imperial Japan. The next day the U.S. officially declared war and changed the course of history. Today we honor the legacy of Sailors and Civilians who were killed in the attack.

Thank you Mounted Patrol International! 🐴🌎

With Thanksgiving tomorrow it’s appropriate to acknowledge one of our great sponsors, Mounted Patrol International, who donated this beautiful Defender saddle to accompany the “Spirit of the Cavalry” award!

Bill Hendricks of LA County Sheriffs Mounted Search and Rescue won the award and its accompanying saddle. The award was presented to “The Trooper who best embodies the Cavalry attributes of horsemanship, leadership, and building morale”. Congratulations Bill and thank you MPI for creating this fantastic prize! 🏆
