Got a sound and sturdy horse that needs rehoming? The
Pennsylvania State Police have issued
a call for horse donations. Accepted horses will join the 26-horse Tactical
Mounted Unit for crowd control, parades, patrol operations, searches, security,
and other purposes.
Equine police candidates must be geldings, aged between five
and 15 years and standing 16 to 18 hands
high. Drafts and draft crosses are the top choice.
In each case, a vet check will be done, every accepted horse
will be taken for a three- to four-month trial period. Donated horses have to
possess calm, trainable dispositions and no stable vices.
Pennsylvania State Police horses reside near Hershey,
Pennsylvania, in a stable located by the Police Academy.
