What was his case that caused him to be decommissioned?
I entirely agree with you. We have had many animals that have been re-homed due to 'aggression' which has been entirely down to either the way the animal was used or the way it was treated. I do however not know how the law stands with horses, if you could enlighten me, that would be great.
he (jack) gets lame from time to time so there can be extensive periods where he cant be ridden, he is a very gentle animal and fantastic with children (obv always supervised), if you leave his stable door open he follows you round the yard. horses are very gentle by nature and i do know the police treat their horses fantastically its just the actual use for them i dont agree with. i can hand on heart in my 25 years of owning horses never known one to be put down for agression or heard of any stories of it happening, i may be wrong but its very very unusual
