Army Horses Injured After Being Released From Field

Viscount, a 17 hands high black Irish sport horse gelding, has retired after a career spanning 21 years and 11 months of loyal service to his country.

During his prominent career, he has carried senior officer, royalty and even Lance Corporal Richard Jones, winner of ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent.

However, Viscount has now retired to the Chiltern Hills alongside fellow public servant horses.

He was a cavalry prodigy, completing his military training at the age of just five and passing out as a Military Working Horse in 1997.
