Question: What is the name of the horse that is buried on the grounds of Fort Sam Houston?
Answer: Pat, a brown male thoroughbred who became a favorite of the soldiers after he arrived at Fort Sam Houston in 1912. During the 1930s, the Army began disposing of its cavalry horses. Pat was saved through the efforts of the fort’s soldiers, allowing him to live another 20 years with his own paddock and groom. When he died in 1953 at the age of 45, he was honored with a military funeral and buried on the fort grounds.
