Each of us care deeply for the well-being of the horses placed under the care of the 3rd United States Infantry commonly known as the \u2018Old Guard\u2019 and applaud the decision to find an alternative long-term space for the herd,\u201d said Rep. Don Beyer. \u201cUpon taking command, General Bredenkamp initiated a comprehensive analysis of options which resulted in this sensible conclusion. I thank him, his staff of professionals, and the Department of the Army for their commitment to engaging the community and my office in this process.\u201d\n\n\u201cOn behalf of the United States Army Military District of Washington, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Mason Neck community for their outreach, engagement, and genuine concern and support for our equine program,\u201d said Major General Trevor Bredenkamp, Commander of the Joint Task Force-National Capital Region and United States Army Military District of Washington. \u201cAlthough we are no longer exploring the development of equine facilities in the Mason Neck area, we look forward to continuing to build upon our incredible relationships with all community partners within the metro DMV area.\u201d\n\nThe Army had initially considered acquiring approximately 50 acres known as the Mustang Loop located at the Meadowood Special Recreation Management Area as the long-term solution to house and care for the horses. The Army is continuing its search for an optimal long-term solution for the horses moving forward.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:36:13Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://beyer.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=6286"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9481040760874748, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
