A magnificent war horse being discharged for duty from a veterinary hospital in France during WW1.

The Army Veterinary Corps or A.V.C. was formed in 1906. At the outbreak of WW1 the A.V.C. numbered less than one thousand men caring for just over fifty thousand horses. By 1916 the number of A.V.C. troops had grown to over fifteen thousand and horses and mules on the Western Front numbered over four hundred thousand. There were twenty British horse hospitals and four convalescent depots on the front.

Almost half-a-million British horses died during WW1.

Lest We Forget.

💙

One day his coat won’t shine quite as bright,
His eyes won’t sparkle quite how they used to.
His legs will become tired and he’ll take a little longer to get up.
He won’t come to the door when you bring his saddle out anymore and he’ll find those jumps just a little harder work than he did before.

But he’ll never stop loving you.

He’ll never stop waiting, with pricked ears, to hear you arrive in the morning.
He’ll never stop grabbing your zip if you stand too close.
He’ll never stop throwing his bucket over the door when he finishes his dinner.

One day he'll grow old.
One day his body will slow down and he will let you know it’s time to hang up the bridle.
And when that day comes, give him a hug, hold him tight and thank him for everything.

Give him days in grass filled fields under summer sun.
Give him love, attention and never let him believe he is anything less than perfect.
Don’t cast him out into a far away field to be glanced at for the rest of his time.
Don’t hand him to the groom and downgrade him to the stable at the end of the yard.
Don't try and pass him off to someone else as a companion and let him go somewhere strange and new at a time in his life when all he needs is you.
Love him, exactly as you did when he was in his prime.

He'll never stop loving you, so never stop loving him.
