Tributes have been paid to a long-serving Merseyside Police horse who sadly passed away yesterday. 

18-year-old PH ‘Boris’ had served with Merseyside Police since the age of four. 

PH Boris represented Merseyside Police at the 2012 London Olympics during his long and illustrious career.

He also led in the winner of the Grand National numerous times. 

A member of the Merseyside Police Mounted Division said that PH Boris thought that everyone was cheering from him as he walked through the tunnel into the winner’s enclosure.

PH ‘Boris’ also policed numerous Football fixtures and attended hundreds of school visits during his service. 

He also spent many hours taking part in high-visibility patrols across the Merseyside area. 

A spokesperson for the unit said: ‘Boris was a true yard favourite who will be sorely missed by us all.’

‘Deepest sympathy to you all on losing a loved family member.’

Another added: ‘I’m so very sorry for all of you who loved him, especially his regular rider(s) Sending love and hugs to all at the yard.’

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories & videos which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services & NHS by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' back in 2018 was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services & NHS which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of you, our readers.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
