Report Finds Army Old Guard Horses Living in Poor Conditions After Two Die
A recent CNN army report has revealed that the U.S. military horses used as pallbearers at Arlington National Cemetery are living in unsanitary and even potentially life-threatening conditions. According to the report, the horses are eating low-quality feed, suffering from parasites, and are turned out in manure-filled lots mixed with mud and gravel. The news came to light in February by the U.S. Army’s Public Health Command-Atlantic after two horses with the Old Guard died.
