They aren't just Livestock....

In March 1953, during the Battle of Outpost Vegas, she made 51 trips in a single day, hauling more than 9,000 pounds of ammunition under constant enemy fire.

Marines later admitted: without her, hundreds of them might not have survived.

What made her remarkable was not just her strength, but her heart. She often traveled supply routes alone, memorizing paths across shell-torn hills.

She shielded Marines with her own body, was wounded twice, and kept moving. At night, she ate rations with the men — scrambled eggs, bacon, even coffee — and slept in their tents. To them, she wasn’t livestock. She was family.

In recognition of her service, she was promoted to the rank of Sergeant and awarded two Purple Hearts, among other medals. After the war, she was brought to the United States, where she lived at Camp Pendleton.

Sergeant Reckless died peacefully in 1968 at the age of about 20. She was buried with full military honors, a tribute normally reserved for human heroes. Today, statues across America remember her, including one at the National Museum of the Marine Corps.

Sometimes, the bravest soldier on the battlefield walks on four legs. 🐎💔

This needs to be shared every day by every rider until everyone has seen it and practices it!!
While crossing the highway and having a car blow right past me it made me think maybe people just don't know what the proper etiquette is for passing a horse.
Here is my PSA.....you are passing an animal! While I like to believe I am in full control of this animal. At the end of the day he/she is 1000lbs and fully capable of spooking or jumping at anytime. You should treat passing a horse just as you would passing a deer. Treat it like you don't know what direction they are going, because you don't. If a deer can total out a car imagine what a horse would do. You could likely kill me, my horse, and yourself. If I see you coming, I’ll do my best to get off the road. So as kindly as I can possibly say it, slow down!!! If you have a teen driver, please inform them.
