"He immediately became one of our A-Team horses which meant he was a truly reliable 'go to' horse for our Unit members and was always head of the pack with his superior size [18 hands tall] and temperament,"
"Jay was always a main attraction wherever he went,"
"His noble stature drew adults and kids to his side. He loved the attention and knew the happiness he brought to others."
Jay, a 12-and-a-half-year-old Percheron and member of the Massachusetts State Police Mounted Unit, died on Nov. 19 from cancer complications. He joined the Mounted Unit in March 2023 at age 10 from CNY Event Ranch in Oswego, New York. He became an A-Team horse, reliably leading the pack with superior size (18 hands tall) and a calm temperament. Jay patrolled across Massachusetts, competed in Mounted Unit events in Kentucky, trained in Washington, D.C., and worked Patriots games near Gillette Stadium. His noble stature attracted adults and children, and he enjoyed attention and bringing happiness to others.
