Detroit Mounted Police honor life of fallen horse.

"The Detroit Mounted Police took to their Facebook page Tuesday to announce the death of Remi, one of their six-year veteran horses.

Remi was a 14-year-old Percheron Morgan cross and his rider was Officer Mathew Miller. Remi was often at Greektown, Mexican Town, leading parades throughout Detroit or visiting kids at schools and football games, according to the Facebook post.

The horse stood at 17 hands and weighed over 1,800 pounds. Remi's statue was a good fit for controlling crowds and his gentle demeanor was often perfect for photos and for folks who wanted to pet him, according to the group.

Detroit Mounted Police ended the post with "Thank you Remi for your dedicated service. Rest in peace big boy"."

Ah, I did see a few of those episodes many years ago with that Len Goodman. When I read your title, thought it was about Lee Goodman, singer of Elvis songs on Muskegon's TV-40. Thank goodness he still seems to be kicking it:
