Happy Memorial Day weekend!
As we approach Memorial Day we remember Sergeant Reckless – a war horse for the Marines during the Korean War. The mare carried both ammunition and wounded soldiers from the front lines to the return trip. Sgt. Reckless was loved and respected by the Marines she served with and because of her amazing performance throughout the war, she was promoted to the rank of Staff Sergeant. She was also given two Purple Hearts along with many other military decorations for her service. On May 8th, 2018, a bronze statue created by Jocelyn Russell was unveiled at the Kentucky Horse Park where it remains for visiting guests to see.
