On May 25, 2020, Angela Harrelson ended her nursing shift at Regions Hospital in St. Paul.

Adrian Infante encourages Brummer to go ahead and say hi. Teak is waiting for her inside the stable. “He’ll recognize you,” he assures her. Brummer, who is 66, is on the brink of ugly-crying at the horse barn in Maple Plain, Minnesota. He is a very rare breed and kind of a big deal, she tells anyone who will listen.

He’d scout 50 animals before he found the right one. “He’d make a great mounted police horse,” Lokke agreed. “Do you have any idea what this horse is worth?” Brummer shot back. “I don’t care,” Lokke said. “He would make a great mounted police horse.”So, Brummer decided to donate Teak to the police department.
