- Officers credited horses' calm training for enabling emergency access

## Summary

Metro Nashville Police mounted officers helped emergency crews reach a fan suffering a serious medical emergency amid a densely packed crowd following Alan Jackson's final Nashville concert on 27 June 2026. The show, part of Jackson's farewell to touring as he deals with health issues, drew around 70,000 attendees, and the crush on a pedestrian bridge afterwards created conditions in which quick access for first responders was difficult without the horses' help.

The concert, billed as Jackson's "Last Call" show at Nissan Stadium, featured guest performances from stars including Luke Combs, George Strait, Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert and Eric Church. As the crowd poured out and packed the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge, police say mounted officers were able to move through the tightly packed masses to clear a path for emergency responders. The department praised the horses for remaining calm despite loud music, flags and shouting, crediting their training and the trust between horse and rider for enabling the rescue.
