The San Francsico Police Department announced yesterday that the SFPD Mounted Unit will hold a retirement ceremony for two of its horses on Saturday, May 28. Hawk, a 25-year-old American Quarter Horse who started with SFPD in 1998, and Hunter, an 18-year-old American Quarter Horse who came to SFPD in 2004, will spend their golden years at SF SPCA's 40-acre Police Horse Retirement Ranch in Sonoma County amidst lush pastures and refreshing cooling ponds.

The retirement ceremony begins at 9 a.m. on the 28th and will be held at the SFPD Horse Stables on James Bloesch Road (located near 36th Avenue and JFK Road) in Golden Gate Park.

Thanks for all your hard work, Hawk and Hunter, and enjoy those greener pastures.
