Waited two weeks for a sheep shearer in the Swan Valley, rang nine, most were on task for the farmers, one guy showed up and did the job, Brody, shearers, great job bro, $150 for one fat sheep to shear, trim feet and spray some s**t on him which only a sheepman knows, well worth it, quality is rare these days, I charge $150 per hour for horse training for my skills, Brody has the skill of sheep shearing, maybe a sheepman??

They called her Reckless, a War Horse in the Vietnam war

There once was a little mare.
Not a champion racehorse.
Not a pedigreed star.
Just a 13 hand Jeju pony from Korea.
Barely taller than a middle schooler.

Her Korean name was probably Ah Chim Hai.
Flame of the Morning.
Born around 1948.
Unraced.
Unremarkable.
Unknown.

Until a teenage stable boy sold her for 250 dollars.
Money raised by Marines who skipped meals and pooled poker winnings.

Why did he sell her?
So he could buy prosthetic legs for his sister.
A landmine had taken both of hers.

That is how an ordinary little mare fell into the hands of the United States Marine Corps.

And now…
the story really begins.
🐴🔥

She was bought to haul 75 millimeter recoilless rifle shells.
Up to 200 pounds at a time.
Up mountains where trucks could not go.
Into mud and ice and artillery.

The Marines called her Reckless.
But the name did not warn them.
It prepared them.

Because she learned faster than any horse they had ever seen.
Flattening herself in ditches when she heard incoming rounds.
Bolting for bunkers.
Halting mid trail when artillery whistled overhead.

She even learned to make the trips alone.
Two to three miles without a handler.
Carrying ammo up.
Bringing wounded Marines back down.
Instinct guiding her through fire and fear.

One day she stepped over a mine tripwire that should have killed her.
The Marines said it was luck.
Others said it was something else.

And now… the battle that made her legend.
🇺🇸🔥

Outpost Vegas.
March 1953.
A hill soaked in blood.
A battle so brutal that veterans still refused to talk about it.

Reckless made 51 trips up and down that hill in a single day.
Over 35 miles of open fire.
Machine guns.
Mortars.
A world screaming around her.

She carried 386 rounds.
Almost all the ammo the platoon fired.

Shrapnel tore her flank.
Another hit her hind leg.
She bled.
She staggered.
But she never stopped.

The Marines said she saved them from being overrun.
They said no human could have done what she did.

She earned two Purple Hearts.
A Presidential Unit Citation.
And eventually… a battlefield promotion.
Then another.
Sergeant Reckless.
The only animal promoted twice to staff sergeant.

Life Magazine called her America’s greatest war horse.

But Marines said something even better.
“She was one of us.”

Now… you might think you know the rest.
But Paul Harvey would smile here.
Because there is more.
🐴😄

Reckless loved beer.
Cold Falstaff or Coors.
Straight from the can.
She crashed officers’ parties.
Stole poker chips.
Chewed ci******es.
And once trotted away with an entire cherry pie board and all.

She curled up in foxholes.
Nuzzled wounded soldiers.
Became therapy on four hooves in a war almost everyone forgot.

After the war she returned home a hero.
She received parades.
She drank at the Bohemian Club.
She retired at Camp Pendleton.
She had foals.
Veterans visited her for years.
Some cried into her mane.

She passed in 1968.
Buried with honor.
Still loved.
Still remembered.

Later researchers like Janet Barrett spent twenty years collecting the real stories.
Sixty Marines.
Declassified files.
Old photos that had never been seen.
Interviews from Korea.
And a truth even more powerful than the legend.

Reckless was not born heroic.
She chose it.
Every day she carried weight that should have broken her.
Yet she lifted spirits instead.

Now you know the rest of the story.
And maybe now you understand why a little mare from Korea has six national monuments.
Why Marines still say her name with pride.
Why her story refuses to fade.

If you want the whole truth in all its grit and grace, read Janet Barrett’s book They Called Her Reckless or Robin Hutton’s Sgt. Reckless.

And if this story touched you, save it, follow for more, and share it so the world remembers the horse who outran bullets and never left a Marine behind.
