On another occasion, just as Warrior was taken out of a stable on a farm, a shell hit the stable right behind him. Again, Warrior remained calm.
Seely had two other horses and would sometimes ride them instead of Warrior. But Warrior was as devoted to Seely as a pet dog and would follow Seely without a saddle or bridle.
and would follow Seely without a saddle or bridle. The first time he did this, Warrior literally jumped out of his stall to follow his human companion.
On another occasion, Warrior was stabled in a room in a house. It was rather unusual because the room still had furniture in it and hardwood floors. Seely was instructing his troops nearby when he heard an explosion. He ran to Warrior, fearing the worst. He found Warrior with his head stuck out of a window. A beam was lying across his back, and before Seely could help him, Warrior leaped out of the window, just as the rest of the house collapsed around him.
Sabotage or a horrible accident almost killed Warrior on another occasion. Someone either purposely or accidentally put hundreds of metal hooks into the feed hay for the horses. Many horses died from eating them, because the hooks lodged in their stomachs and intestines. Warrior did swallow one of the hooks, but instead of suffering quietly like the other horses, he became violent. He rolled, leaped, and kicked so hard that no one could get near him. As luck would have it, he was able to dislodge the hook and he passed it without further trouble, although he did take a few weeks to recover.

without further trouble, although he did take a few weeks to recover. Warrior survived many fierce battles in which other horses were killed. He was never wounded even though he became a target of the German army. After the war, he returned home with Seely to live a peaceful life.
