Saratoga arrived at our charity in 2017. He is an ex-police horse having worked in the Metropolitan Mounted Police. Saratoga has complications with mud fever, a skin condition caused by a variety of bacteria which thrives in muddy conditions. His condition is managed by our team at Walklands Yard.
Did you know? It takes around two years to train a police horse. Once they are trained they patrol for about three hours a day and have one day off a week.

Saratoga has been put on the ‘track system’ this month to keep the rotation of the grass. This means he is moved around to different sections of his field to make sure it is all growing nicely. He is looking forward to the Autumn months with his herd, mainly because it means he gets less baths!
Saratoga is living life with the young cob herd. He is definitely the biggest in the herd but gets on with them all. He is pictured here with his friend Melvyn, our team can often see them grazing together!
Saratoga has been enjoying the nice weather with a little bath and makeover. He loves drinking from the hose and is known to be very cheeky across the Bransby site. When the team are lunging him he often throws a little buck and squeal in excitement! Saratoga loves cantering around Walklands and playing with his herd.
