Reckless was a horse who carried supplies and ammunition, and was also used to evacuate the wounded. We often do not consider the intelligence of God’s creation and how loving and loyal they can be. She was chestnut colored with a blaze and three white stockings. Her bloodline is unconfirmed but was thought to be primarily Mongolian.

She was estimated to be around three or four years old when she was purchased by Marine Lieutenant Eric Pedersen in October 1952 for $250.
