Police horses, officers on four hooves, form a well-rehearsed team with their rider for years. They have to be able to rely on each other and keep a cool head even in dangerous or stressful situations. Although Rubinio was actually in his prime at the age of 10, he was already considered a "pensioner". The Oldenburg wallach was suffering from a chronic respiratory disease and could therefore no longer be used in police service. In the past, being unfit for service was usually tantamount to a death sentence. But more and more often we see that the officers of the equestrian squadrons are committed to their four-legged colleagues and do everything to ensure that they can enjoy their retirement.
