Meet Sparky
Sparky is a retired Navy and National Lacers veteran. He retired to Bayside Equine Rescue in July of 2023.
While with the Navy Sparky was at the Oceana Stables, Virginia Beach, VA. He was primarily used as a recreational trail riding horse for the families living at the nearby Naval Base.
With the National Lancers Sparky was a great teaching/training horse for the newer Lancer members and a trusted parade horse.
Sparky thrived in the Lancers Veteran’s Wellness Program. With the rescue's new endeavor of hosting Equine Workshops Sparky will continue to provide and connect with veterans.
