SEYMOUR — The true story of a small horse that bravely served with US Marines in Korea will be the focus of a Seymour Historical Society program on Sunday, Oct. 20, at 2 p.m.
The horse’s name was Reckless, and she was trained to carry ammunition and transport wounded Marines from the battlefield. The highlight of her nine-month military career came in March 1953 when, during one battle, she made 51 trips to resupply front-line units. Twice wounded, she was awarded two Purple Hearts — and earned the gratitude of the Marines who served with her.
