Durban metro police spokesperson Supt Boysie Zungu told TimesLIVE Fagan, the only white horse in Durban’s mounted police unit, was a “people’s favourite”. “Though he was retired, it is sad that he had to be put down. He served 20 years and had won the hearts of those that met him during his time with Durban metro police,” he said.His last rider was Inspector Gordon Wreyford.
Fagan was a working police horse at major Durban events including parades, Cop 17 and the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
