30 years ago this week the Miami News reported that Travelin Gambler, a 10 year-old Appaloosa assigned to the Metro Police Department's mounted patrol unit, was being kicked off the force after just two years of service.
In a memo to Metro commissioners, County Manager Merrett Stierheim wrote that the horse had "developed behavioral problems and has become very aggressive and uncontrollable, unseating riders."
