This sounds much better than what used to happen in PA to the police horses when their careers were over. At the time, there were no exceptions to the rule that police equipment could not be distributed to the public. So, on more than one occasion, veteran police horses would be paraded at the Farm Show, taking a last loop around to the cheers of the kids while it was announced they were retiring from the force... and then they'd be taken off premises and shot.
(Fortunately, they've since realized a horse is not really the same kind of equipment as, say, a handgun, and now they really do retire the horses.)
