These noble animals played crucial roles—from cavalry charges to pulling ambulances, artillery, and supply wagons. They were silent witnesses to the horrors of war, serving with unbridled loyalty and becoming beacons of hope and solace for the soldiers they served alongside. 

 You might have come across their story through the War Horse film, a tale of a remarkable horse and its journey from the tranquillity of a farm to the treacherous battlefields. It symbolises friendship, loss, and the resilience required to survive against all odds. However, the harsh reality is that many horses were abandoned or sold to slaughterhouses after the war, their sacrifices forgotten amidst the ruins and rebuilding. Their stories, laden with unspoken words and unshed tears, linger in the annals of history, often overshadowed by human narratives.

Our War Horse Brooch is a tribute to the horses who stood as silent, steadfast heroes alongside our soldiers. It serves not only as a symbol of remembrance but also as a tribute to every animal that served, suffered, and was forsaken during and after the war.
