Miller was a UMass Amherst police horse who was retired when they could no longer keep the police horse program going. He\u2019s new to living in Westhampton Massachusetts where his new caretakers live. He\u2019s never lived in a herd of horses before so he is new to the entire experience of making friends and horsing around. Miller is only 6 years old which is young for a horse but he\u2019s a big guy! He is a Belgian Draft horse known for their height and wide body type. The horses he\u2019s moving in with are smaller than Miller and don\u2019t really like him. He\u2019s been a loner for a few weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

This past week Miller was feeling braver than usual and decided to try and play with the little guys. They were hesitant at first but in the end, they started to play with Miller and race around the snow-covered pastures. Miller has never been happier, he\u2019s now accepted into the herd and is loving retirement. He even became best friends with one of the other horses and they are now inseparable.<\/span><\/p>\n
