WEBVTT

00:07.809 --> 00:10.800
Uh , this morning we were , uh ,

00:10.810 --> 00:13.560
loading up hay and grain for the

00:13.560 --> 00:16.680
two-week trip for Pasadena . Uh , it's

00:16.680 --> 00:19.120
for us to be like self-sufficient for

00:19.120 --> 00:20.120
on the road .

00:28.270 --> 00:31.479
Van Horne , uh , we just drove 8 hours

00:31.610 --> 00:33.666
and these horses cannot really be up

00:33.666 --> 00:35.666
there in the trailers for that long

00:35.666 --> 00:37.554
because they , you know , they're

00:37.554 --> 00:39.777
standing the whole time . So we brought

00:39.777 --> 00:41.999
them over here . This is the first stop

00:41.999 --> 00:41.729
that we make . Uh , we're gonna make

00:41.729 --> 00:44.860
another stop next in Arizona and then ,

00:44.930 --> 00:47.041
uh , we'll get to California . Now we

00:47.041 --> 00:49.208
let these horses out right now so they

00:49.208 --> 00:51.430
can , they can run around and be free .

00:54.740 --> 00:57.200
So I'm their primary care veterinarian

00:57.200 --> 00:59.144
day to day . When they go on these

00:59.144 --> 01:01.311
bigger trips , they like to have their

01:01.311 --> 01:03.311
veterinarian come with them . So if

01:03.311 --> 01:05.422
anything were to arise , I'm here and

01:05.422 --> 01:07.089
we can handle the situation .

01:11.519 --> 01:13.790
So today , uh , we did a performance at

01:13.790 --> 01:15.901
a quest fest , part of the tournament

01:15.901 --> 01:18.068
of roses , uh , parade , some of their

01:18.068 --> 01:20.559
leading up events , and , uh , we did a

01:20.559 --> 01:23.160
drooling ceremony routine , about 89

01:23.160 --> 01:25.569
minutes of formation riding , calling

01:25.569 --> 01:27.736
the commands and stuff like they would

01:27.736 --> 01:29.958
have done back in the late 1800s . Same

01:29.958 --> 01:31.902
formations , same movements . It's

01:31.902 --> 01:33.958
always a good event to come out here

01:33.958 --> 01:36.180
and interact with the public and , uh ,

01:36.180 --> 01:38.291
just put the army and the first Caver

01:38.291 --> 01:40.402
division out there in a good positive

01:40.402 --> 01:40.199
light . And everybody loves to see our

01:40.199 --> 01:42.889
horses and They always , they always

01:42.889 --> 01:45.000
cheer when we come out in the arena .

01:55.389 --> 01:57.611
The horse cover detachment participated

01:57.611 --> 02:01.290
in the Rose Parade 2025 .

02:01.620 --> 02:05.110
We led the Army float for the Army's

02:05.110 --> 02:08.259
250th birthday , and we were pleased to

02:08.259 --> 02:10.426
do it . The tournament of Roses Parade

02:10.426 --> 02:13.020
is a long standing tradition for the

02:13.020 --> 02:15.131
horse cavalry's participation in it .

02:15.259 --> 02:17.820
We've been participating in this parade

02:17.820 --> 02:21.179
since 1996 . We look forward to

02:21.179 --> 02:23.235
representing the Army every year and

02:23.235 --> 02:25.457
First Cavalry Division and look forward

02:25.457 --> 02:27.623
to continuing the tradition , keep the

02:27.623 --> 02:28.149
tradition alive .
