U.S. Army Col. Donald Neal Jr., commander of the 2nd Cavalry Division, rides a horse on the same route used during Operation Cowboy from the city of Hostouň on the 81st anniversary of the operation, Hostouň, Czech Republic, April 30, 2026. The ceremony honored an ambitious World War II mission that united American and German forces in a daring rescue of hundreds of Lipizzaner horses as the war drew to a close. Soldiers joined Czech citizens for wreath-laying ceremonies, parades, and historical displays, continuing a tradition that links the current generation of regiment Soldiers to the unit’s storied past.
