Naughty Police Horses Misbehave In Their Temporary Stables | Mounted Branch

[@Kat-mu8wq]

Police horses that crib..Wonderful.

[@Charlotte-do9gk]

Please give them some turnout they chew out of boredom. Even in the arena would be good. But outdoors is much recommend

[@vikingsong2068]

They know and they do get turnout. You're not imparting wisdom they're unaware of.

[@sparrow6368]

If you allow a horse to chew on wood it damages there teeth, not to mention they get splinters in their gums, lips!

[@strangehappenings8682]

My horse has acres of land and mpi mountain top, fields and trees and still chewed wood. Dude was well taken care kf as well sometimes...they just chew woodb

[@saloula2]

They’re not naughty, they’re BORED! Honestly how does that escape you?

[@user-bx7nw1ve6y]

I would venture that none of these people have the equine background necessary to provide the animals with what they really need, yet think they are doing everything right--typical law enforcement mentality.

[@jennysambrook3528]

So what are your thoughts on race horses or polo ponies? They spend hours in boxes. My daughter passes polo ponies every weekend. They each have an open space on their own just about as big as their stable, no grass cos they have eaten it all, standing on dry earth or in mud. Race horses have a miserable life apart from a gallop every day and often go to slaughter after their short career , cos they need an awful lot of re training to be a suitable riding horse. These police horses are well cared for, often have a little holiday each year and most go to excellent homes for retirement .

Poor Snodgrass looked so sorry for himself. Naughty Fairfax, you really need to learn to get along with your neighbours.

[@k40ren]

They are chewing through boredom im assuming they have little or no turnout. If so they will have little normal horse behaviour. Grooming, playing, grazing......kept in a box and taken out to work when needed. Really sad. Some may say they are well looked after. But if you deny any animal its normal behaviour is very sad and depressing 😥

[@Pippin2luv]

karen Harrison they did say the usual stables are being renovated so maybe they have more turnout there? These are temporary.

[@oliviabrown3642]

@@Pippin2luv I bet they're just saying that. Fields are amazing and they would probably show a clip of the horses in the fields

[@Pippin2luv]

Olivia Brown 🤷 who knows. I just want to hope for the best. Maybe whoever produced this didn’t think about showing that. I don’t want to automatically assume the worst.

[@rosiegiesler4705]

I read so many of these comments from typical stable amature stable riders who either own a horse or ride for fun at their local stable and think that their some type of expert when it comes to horse care. These people are experts at what they do and even if their not they become experts fast by doing this day in day out. They don’t just turn up after seeing a video online and decide that they want to be horse groomers and trainers. It takes years of exspirience more than you have for most of you commenting that these horses are bored. I highly doubt that these working police horses are bored and that they are bored working on the streets and keeping us safe. You watch a a 3:09 minute video and think you know the full story.

Lol, one police horse getting back at another one pulling his tongue out!!!!! Rude gesture!!!!!!

[@ngrnmck]

I hate when horses live in stalls!

[@rosemarydudley9954]

Nancy Green ... THEY ARE NOT STALLS, THEY ARE LOOSE BOXES. YOU MUST BE IN USA or SOMEWHERE LIKE THAT????

[@wolfdimensions9414]

Does anyone know what breed police horses are?

[@muhammadsameer4624]

Horselover Akaanimallover well some of them are heavy horses others are worm blood horses and thoroughbred and mix breed

[@greenelectricemerald5761]

they dont use a specific breed, but the police do prefer the big, heavy and strong types of horses. Imagine tall light weight to medium weight draft horses or those who a mixed draft and warmblood. Draft horses and those with draft blood often have a more cool temperament and dont go into Flight mode as often as warmblooded horses.

[@charley2714]

Justice Breed

[@rosemarydudley9954]

@@muhammadsameer4624 - No such thing as a "worm blood", you mean "warm blood". Either way, most have Irish blood in them like Irish draught X. Good, strong, amenable horses.

[@laurentyler9735]

0:28 they tied the horse to the ring

[@laurendyer3546]

That’s what rings are for though?

[@laurentyler9735]

Lauren Dyer the ring should have string on it so you can tie the horse to the string so if they panick they can run back because the string would snap

[@howardmckeown7187]

@@laurentyler9735 that would be a great idea, lol, i like my horse to be there when i come back, lol

[@Thenoodleyone]

@@laurentyler9735 Or you tie a quick release knot and dont leave them unattended, like all the riders Ive met in the UK...

[@Kat-mu8wq]

@@Thenoodleyone I leave mine tied up in his stable eating a haynet, he's perfectly fine. If he broke the string he was attached to he would just raid the sweetie bag and knock over my wheelbarrow which stays in his stable. I also use rope halters, not that padded crap.

and I chew chocolate when im bored

[@Kat-mu8wq]

Tell that to my mother's Welsh D. He would happily stay in forever, you put him out, he will trash the field and want back in. He will stand at the gate at 6am wanting in, he will maybe stay out 2 hours then be back at the gate wanting in. His field looks like a polo match has been played on it, and he's the only one in it for maybe 5 hours a day max.

[@vikingsong2068]

Reading through the comments, it's the usual obnoxious teenage girls who think they're equine experts..

[@rosemarydudley9954]

Couldn't agree more...

[@rosiegiesler4705]

Exactly it’s so funny 😂

[@user-bx7nw1ve6y]

The vast majority of horses used by the police are trained, cared for and ridden by people with no background or understanding of what these animals need to be healthy and happy. I would argue that forcing a flight/prey animal to live in a corral all day long and help 'control' crowds is abuse.

[@rosemarydudley9954]

1 1 ... YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. You sound about as intelligent as a pile of horse $hit.

[@rosiegiesler4705]

I think you might want to read up on your facts 😂

[@Ardour_of_A_Leopard]

Back then policemen needed horses to be able to arrive quickly. Now that we have cars... what's the point? Leave the poor animals alone.

[@Oswald_Thatendswald]

lol how about you stop and *think* about it for just a hot second? There are some places cop cars cant go. Ever been to New Orleans during Mardi Gras? Police have to use mounted patrol to get through that crowd. New York also uses it because the grid locked traffic can block cop cars from getting where they're needed. *Thats* the point.

[@rosemarydudley9954]

Saini S ... ever seen a police car jumping gates and hedges to get to a run-away? ever seen them going the wrong way up a narrow one way road/lane....No of course not. Think on.

[@Ardour_of_A_Leopard]

@@rosemarydudley9954 Never seen a police horse doing it either. Plus, most countries don't have mounted police force at all and they are doing just fine anyway.

[@Oswald_Thatendswald]

@@Ardour_of_A_Leopard Not everyone needs one. But just because "most countries" don't have mounted patrol doesn't mean it doesn't help in other places.

[@gabrielle9577]

I feel bad for these horses, imagine being abused by drunks or being in a scenario such as a climate change or vegan protest. What a terrible job, and being ridden by a police officer!? Poor horses.
