Randy

Randy is a Dark Bay Percheron Cross Gelding born on May 20, 2001. He served this country faithfully for 12 years in the U.S. Army’s Caisson Platoon of the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, also known as “The Old Guard.” He helped lead the caskets of fallen military members to their final resting places at Arlington National Cemetery. He performed in the lead (the front pair in the funeral procession) and swing (the middle pair in the funeral procession) positions.

Randy arrived at the sanctuary on April 24, 2023, following a brief stay at Cornell University Hospital for Animals, where he was examined and evaluated. We join countless other Americans in thanking this sweet-tempered former Military Working Horse for his service and are delighted to provide him with a forever retirement home here at the sanctuary.

Randy is proudly sponsored in full by supporters from Spencertown, New York.
