Disneyland’s newest four-legged Cast Member “Bert” Debuted July 22

The newest four-legged cast member “Bert,” debut on July 22, pulling one of the horse-drawn street cars on Disneyland’s Main Street U.S.A. 

Bert, is a Percheron Draft Horse, who is named for one of the most memorable characters from Disney’s classic 1964 film”Marry Poppins.” Bert is six years old and weighs in at approximately 1,800 pounds.  

Disneyland’s horses have been a staple of Main Street U.S.A. since the park opened in 1955.

Bert came from a place called Bent, Montana, a small town close to Great Falls, where he was purchased from a family owned and operated farm. He arrived alongside his teammate Bill who will also be making his way out to Main Street, U.S.A. later this year. Bert is surprisingly good at blowing raspberries and does this anytime he wants attention or gets bored.

Bert took a position previously held by a Belgian Draft horse named Holly. She worked at Disneyland for nearly 15 years and now has a wonderful home with one of their Cast Members.
