I have an 8 year old daughter – who every Saturday helps out at pony sanctuary – she mucks out horses and ponies from 9-3pm come rain or shine. She has a one hour lesson as part of that.
She has it in her heart to one day become a mounted police officer.
I am wondering if there is any chance she could visit your stables one day, even for a few hours to meet the horses and a police officer.
Please
thank you Anna

I very much doubt that the grey is a stallion, especially with a mare in the squad! A mature stallion takes very sensitive handling, and they are usually only kept for stud duties. I’m pretty sure the police would use geldings (castrated horses, as most males are quite early on) – you would not risk working a stallion on public duties.

Horses are never called white by the way; they’re called grey; though they often become closer to white with age. The occasional genetically pure white horse is an albino, but they are quite rare

I hope the tradition of using police horses never dies out altogether. When I’ve seen them used to control large crowds, I’ve noticed that even the rowdies who may not think much of human authority give the horses a certain amount of respect. To paraphrase Neil Young, long may they run!
