The only thing more swoon-inducing than a handsome man in uniform is a tall, dark and handsome equine in uniform. Thomas the British Army horse knows it, and he knows how to turn on the charm to get what he wants: peppermints.
At 22 years old and having spent nearly two decades in service, Thomas earned his retirement last year and will enjoy the rest of his life in the peaceful countryside. But before saying goodbye to his busy urban life, he showed a reporter his flirty trick for the cameras.
