Sergeant Reckless, a fascinating Mongolian mare that became a Marine Sergeant. Named "Reckless" by the Marines fighting in the Korean War, she began her military career as a simple pack horse. At the Battle of Outpost Vegas in March 1953, Reckless carried almost 5 tons of ammunition over the course of a few days through "no man's land" to the frontlines, and also carried wounded soldiers to safety. Brought back to USA, she received her final promotion to Staff Sergeant in 1959 at Camp Pendleton, in addition to many other honors including 2 Purple Hearts. Reckless, who weighed 900-pounds and stood 14 hands high, became a national hero in 1954 when an article ran in the "Saturday Evening Post" magazine about her heroics during several battles in the Korean War. Traditional Sized model, 1:9 scale. NOTE: Sergent Reckless is made in the Galiceno Pony Mold, sculpted in 1978 by Chris Hess. This is a traditional size model of a Pony breed, therefore this model side by side with a traditional size horse will be smaller!
