What A Corky!
Thames Valley Police Mounted Section based in Milton Keynes will be losing one of their favourite horses on Tuesday morning to a well-earned
retirement at The Home of Rest for Horses.
Corky, a striking 18-year-old, 17.1-hand chestnut gelding, worked with the Thames Valley Mounted Section for five years, undertaking many demanding
duties within the Thames Valley area. From pop concerts to football matches, catching robbers and finding missing children, Corky lived life to the
full and now deserves his retirement to the tranquillity of the rolling Chiltern Hills at Westcroft Stables.
The recipient of a commendation for bravery during a local derby football match between rivals Portsmouth and Southampton, Corky has left an
everlasting impression on all the staff at Milton Keynes.
Police Constable Kirsty Bishop, Corky's rider, said: "Corky has the biggest heart. He is the oldest horse at our stables but he thinks he is the
youngest. He behaves like a lovable puppy and will lick you to death given half the chance."
