Calling in the cavalry! 🐴📯
Today, two of our very own #HeroHorses, Grace and Keston, were awarded with the animal equivalent of an OBE – the #PDSAOrderOfMerit
Both PH Grace and PH Keston were awarded the accolade for their years of dedicated service to the Met and the courageous work that they have done.
PH Grace joined Lewisham police stables in 2004 and PH Keston was posted to Hammersmith stables in 2007.
Since joining, both horses have carried out a variety of duties including policing large scale events, escorting the military and even working during the prestigious London 2012 Olympics.
PH Grace is now retired and spends her days at our police stables, Imber Court, where she helps to provide training and support to younger horses.
Sadly, PH Keston passed away in January 2019 after leading a courageous career.
Earlier today, PH Grace came out of retirement to collect her award at a service led by the PDSA. PH Tempest stepped in to receive PH Keston’s award.
Join us in giving them a hoofing great congrats! 🐎👏
