Mounted search and rescue

["IRVIN LICHTENSTEIN" <ilichten1@verizon.net>]

The announcement says RETIRED. What it really means is that the PD can’t afford to feed these anymore, breaking a tradition in the services that retired horses get cared for until they die of old age, etc.

 

By the way the City of Bethlehem, PA has instituted a mounted patrol unit with 2 Percherons according to press releases.

Hi Una,

 

Do you know why they haven't ridden these horses in so long?

Dallas County Sheriff's Department is selling four retired horses.
They will be offered for sale at a Dallas County online auction that
will be advertised July 13-27:

Golden Bay, a thoroughbred described as calm, broken for riding
and trained for the sheriff's mounted unit.

TJS Lil Playboy, a quarter horse that has not been ridden for 10
years but was used in the mounted unit.

Bartender, a quarter horse that hasn't been ridden in 10 years
but was used at one point for rounding up loose livestock.

Boceiphus, a quarter horse that hasn't been ridden in seven years
but was used in the mounted unit and for rounding up livestock.
Has arthritis.

This is all the information I have.  If interested, search the web
for more.  (I just did that and found nothing but this same info.)
