"if you struck a police horse, it would be the same if you struck a police officer, the same penalties apply" - that's just the cutest thing to say about horses, the amount of respect they get from these police officers is amazing

[@thetimekeeper955]

+Shani Wilkins While I don't think "cute" is the right word to use ("necessary" is better), it's not a matter of "shouldn't be in a position"; the reality is that they are, so it's something that has to be accounted for. Being resentful about it isn't going to do squat to protect them.

Before cars horses were on the street all the time with the carriages running over there hoofs and all sorts , here they are well cared for , big and strong and do a good thing. Horses are one of the most loyal creatures, and can be trained very well. I’d like to think that they had trained the horse to get out of the road if they thought they were in a dangerous position.

I would actually consider this military style, it differs a little from English and I'm not sure what other tack you would be referring to, I hope not western ... because I highly doubt they would get much use for western tack in the middle of a city with no cattle.

[@KM-px8cs]

109367 I highly doubt that also. But many departments actually tack up western for no apparent reason. Also, many riders tack up western for no reason related to cattle etc. I think it is just because western had become a WESTERN and American tradition, and western tack is much cheaper.

[@TalkToTheTurtle]

Kyla M. I believe most tack up western because it would be more comfortable for the rider if they have a long day of riding around, and it allows for more spread out pressure on the horses back too. Not 100% if its right, but its just my thoughts.

[@julie577]

Kyla M. Same

[@mochimacaroon400]

TalkToTheTurtle actually, you are right. Western also offers a more 'fitted' seat which also helps with balance and staying on. Honestly western saddles aren't just for cattle herding. Infact their whole design is meant for long term comfort and a deep seat to allow riders to work long hours and stay on if a horse spooks or needs to make jerky/sudden motions. There is a reason most peope use western when going for trail rides.

[@ccityplanner1217]

In the UK we would never deploy mounted to a speed trap because it's an inefficient use of the horses. The only advantage of using a horse over a car for this would seem to be that the cars are white, while the horses are brown & can be placed in-front of the brown trees to provide camouflage. For this I would suggest using a moped, which is small & blends into the background. On other types of deployment, such as neighbourhood patrols, horses have a distinct advantage & are often not deployed enough by constabularies which see them primarily as a crowd control tool. Still, I can see a training advantage in that it gets the horses used to being around cars & not responding to what they do.

Ye Olde Horsemanship Channel english saddles are lighter than a wester and don’t make the horse sweat as much as they would with a western saddle

Beautiful horse

[@savvygoesjumping04]

I think that there is no need to have spurs

[@ScarlettroboX]

Skyy Eventing sameeee but they aren’t using them , are they? Just normal boots

[@asiasidoti5606]

I think that there is no need to involve horses in something like that.

[@jaykneegarner2479]

Spurs ore not used a a form of punishment. They are used as a reinforcement of a request. It should always go body position, leg/voice, then squeeze with the spur. Never star fishing, or wildly spurring out of nowhere. These big draft horses that they are using for police work tend to A: know their size and take full advantage B: Be dull/Lazy, low energy couch potatoes who would rather go back to bed than work! Occasionally they need a reminder from their handlers that they do in fact need to move! I personally only use spurs when absolutely needed. One of my horses moves solely on body language and voice! Move from passive/neutral to tipped forward/Go position and you damn well better be ready for her to move! Cluck or accidentally squeeze your legs while giving the go signal and she will launch out from underneath you! On the other side I have a mare who no matter how nicely you ask will not go faster than a snails pace without the rider wearing spurs. You do not need to use said spurs but just her knowing you have them is enough of a psychological threat that she goes from no way in hell to yes mam in a flash. Much like how pulling a police K9 out will get a suspect to rapidly change their mind about running!

Go Spurs Go lol

[@Jess-xm7ux]

pandaplays101 Oh my GOD no they don't. There are so many different types of bits. Some softer, some stronger. A snaffle is one of the softer ones and a curb could be classed as a stronger one. However, a lot of people allow themselves to abuse the horse more in a snaffle rather than a curb. It's not the persons preference on bitted or bitless, the horse makes that decision.

I hate bits so much I don't even use Rein's Ive rode bareback all my life so when I see bits I just don't like it its OK if its a certain bit you use my friend uses one but compared to the one they have its much smaller and dosent clank on the horses teeth or pull its just my say in it if you like bits then that's fine but just know (most) bits explicitly ones like that don't need to be used

[@charlottepope8284]

I Agree, I do hate bits. Though, they have to be used improperly for it to hurt. If you are taught the proper way, you can ride with a bit. Ex: Learning to ride using just your legs and no reins. Then using the reins to squeeze, meaning the bit is a contact point so when you squeeze, they know what you are asking. Though, you must use them properly. If not used in the proper way, I despise the people for not bothering to learn better.

[@elizabethmelton4166]

Shame on them for trailering horses with windows down Extremely dangerous for horse yo have head out the window...I don't care how seasoned they are still animals and something could get into the eyes

[@DanishButterCookie]

Windows down for airflow. It gets extremely hot in the trailer, especially on a hot day.

[@ponylovermadden4560]

That's what trailer screens are for to allow air flow but keep debris out of the horse's eyes so windows down IF you use screens. Some people also use fly masks if their horses insist on hanging their head out and their trailers don't have screens.

[@424kilebar]

Not to mention in rare cases they can be decapitated

[@haleydarby-miller4480]

Elizabeth Melton you can literally see the horse has eye protection 😂😂😂😂

They should change those bits though those are horrible

[@mochimacaroon400]

Mango the Fox They really aren't.

[@dancetothebaileybeat2809]

If you've got such a problem with bits, just stay out of the subject. You're basically saying that it hurts if someone trys to eat a biscuit. Its the same thing, just you can't eat a bit and it doesn't taste as good. Bits only hurt if you yank, the police officers obviously weren't pulling, so it wouldn't have hurt. I hate it hen people say that bits at bad when their not.

[@dancetothebaileybeat2809]

Bit less bridles still have the same pressure, i think loads of people have a misunderstanding of bits. Both bits and bit less bridles hurt just as much. One thing i hear people say lots is "try putting a bit in your mouth and tell me it doesn't hurt". If you know anything about bridles, you'll know that the most common bit less bridle basically has the reins hooked on to the nose band, and it still has meal circles on it so when you pull on one side, the other side will have the metal circle digging in. Since there's no strap or bit to keep the bridal from slipping back, it must be part of the cheek bone that stops it. So it'll be pushing on the one of the bones or tendons or whatever that stops it from slipping back, which would hurt. And if you say that you don't pull enough on the bit less bridle to make it hurt, you don't pull enough on a bit to make it hurt ether.

Once i saw how big those horses can be i was like :0 and they looked so healthy and shiny

[@clodaghmcbride2757]

5:52 that’s not how to lead a horse. You always walk beside them and not in front of them it can damage there necks by trailing them like that

[@clodaghmcbride2757]

Exactly that person needs more training

[@scarletbishop6289]

Right? And it looked like he was practically pulling the horse to try to get it to walk faster, first of all if youre directly in front of it it probably wont go faster, and also thats just not how you do it

[@katelynfankhauser4345]

How does that hurt the horses neck? XD. I'm genuinely interested to know.

[@LynnGray1]

These officers seem very polite. I met one and he said police horses were supposed to be pet, well his wasn’t since he was working. Not trying to complain but his horse was on water break and he got irritated with the questions I was asking. All I asked was what kind of horse he was, and his height cause he was huge! And I’m an avid fan of horses and was only 16 at the time. So it’s good to see some polite mounted patrol.

[@fearless-zy7ex]

Not trying to judge but that bit is so disgusting its just jard to watch

[@fearless-zy7ex]

r w how about you take your own advice and just shut up

[@beepbeepimasheep7347]

r w well thats up to the way a horse is trained and you dont have to train them with a bit so you clearly donz have to use one. Which would be better bc a bit hurts the horse
