We just wanted to let you know that the eight horses and their officers who were deployed in Bristol last night all returned to base safe and sound 💙
Today however is definitely a duvet day!!
#ASPHorses#SleepySunday
After some very upsetting scenes in Bristol this evening all six horses and their riders are still on duty but safe. Thank you to everyone for your concern. It’s been a very long shift #theydidusproud
Today we said a very sad farewel to the beautiful Jubilee.
After some health issues over the last year we have made the difficult decision to retire him from police work, so he can enjoy a quieter life. He was one in a million and will be truly missed 💙 🐴
This evening officers have been targeted with further violence, some of which was directed towards our horses. Thankfully none of them were injured. Yet again our boys did a tremendous job and have come away unfazed & are happily eating hay 💙
We are pleased to say whilst Rocky’s condition is still serious, it is stable and shows signs of improvement. We will continue to provide updates when we can and when we have a better idea of his prognosis.
We are truly thankful for all of your kind messages ❤️
Today Rocky & his rider were hit by a car whilst on patrol with PH Platinum in Bristol. He sustained serious injuries and is being treated in an equine hospital. His rider suffered minor injuries but neither PH Platinum or his rider were injured. We will keep you up to date 💔
Unfortunately we have some really sad news. Due to arthritis in his spine our beloved PH Brunel was put to sleep today on advice of our vets. He was an amazing Police horse who always looked after his rider. Thank you for your service Bru - we are all sadder without you here. 🐴
Today we visited Rocky in hospital and it’s fair to say he and his rider were pleased to see each other 😊
Our vets have advised that it will be around a month before we have an update on his prognosis however he is in good spirits and has got over the first hurdle 🙏
