Mobile police horse retires after 8 years of service
MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — The noble steed, Ghost, is now getting some much-deserved relaxation after eight years of service with the Mobile Police Department. Mobile woman accused of domestic violence, police say 'The department will miss Ghost,' Public Information Officer, Roderick Miles said. Ghost was born and raised at the Angola Prison in Louisiana until he joined the Mobile Police Department in 2017. For the majority of his time in the force, he was partnerless due to his huge personality and stature. 'Ghost was a big boy!' Miles said. That was until he met David Joiner in 2022, and the two immediately clicked. 'He just had some funny little quirks, like getting out of the horse trailer instead of just stepping like a normal horse, he had this little leap that he would do every time,' Joiner said. The gentle giant, who was slightly afraid of sounds like whistles, had a ton of quirks. Together, the two worked out those issues, earning multiple awards. Like the most improved award during a Mardi Gras training camp. 'Almost like a proud dad seeing your kids' overcoming obstacles and struggles,' Joiner said. The two also received a Commander's citation for their work during the deadly 2022 New Year's Eve shooting in Downtown Mobile that killed one and injured nine. 'Just dealing with everyone screaming and all of the chaos going on just being able to jump into action,' Joiner said. After years of hard work and dedication, Joiner is happy to see his 17-year-old partner get the relaxing retirement he deserves. 'I'm excited for him just to be able to retire and go rest easy,' Joiner said.
