    German citizens celebrate the opening of the Operation Cowboy relay race at Eslarn, Bavaria, Germany, April 29, 2025. This event commemorated the 80th anniversary of Operation Cowboy, which took place on April 28, 1945, during World War II, in which American troops from the 2nd Cavalry Regiment rescued hundreds of Lipizzaner horses from a breeding farm in Hostoun, Czech Republic, from being executed by occupying forces.
