Not all our vets have been human. Reckless makes Traveler, Little Sorrel, Comanche and countless other horses look like ‘also rans.’
Reckless was definitely like the little engine who could.
She was retired at the Marine Corps Base in Camp Pendleton where a General issued the following order…she was never to carry any more weight on her back except her own blankets. She died in 1968 at the age of 20.
h/t, Reckless
This is definitely a neat story about a neat horse. No, she isn’t a Derby winner but she saved many American lives.
