you see how the horse harvest raises his ears as the cop says "food food food" 😂

[@emreva1357]

Harvest is the taller horse

I can't wait to join the Mounted Patrol!

[@treaty92]

I was a Philly cop for 30 years, always loved when our mounted units showed up.

[@mala3isity]

Do the horses ever get to run off duty? You know, just be horses?

[@treaty92]

@@mala3isity I wasn't assigned to the mounted unit. I've been to the stables where the horses live, they are very well cared for. There are farriers working there and they have large outdoor areas where they can trot around, it located to the park system of Philadelphia. I actually processed an arrest where a drunk punched one of our horses.

[@mala3isity]

@@treaty92 Thank you, sir, for your service and your answer. Words get around a workplace and I thought you might've heard about the horses. I'm happy you actually went to see them. It's good to know they get to play, too. :) I hope the horse paid the drunk guy back. I used to care for my ex-BIL's rodeo horses and I know they have a long memory. Years down the road, that horse will see that guy and who knows what'll happen? Maybe the horse is the forgiving type. "He was totally wasted, I don't hold it against him."

[@pointly]

Dispatch: We have a call of a mugging on 9th heading towards 11th Ave. Harvest: I know where that is! Follow me! Jet: How do you know this? Harvest: There is pie shop on the corner of 11th & 9th!

[@hcmybffs]

Awesome!! I love when they interact with the people. Sometimes that is the first interaction people have with the horses!! I love horses and I retired from showing and eventing some years ago.

[@StockCarRacingLeague]

This truly is the best job in the world.

Good job men and women of the Seattle mounted PD🙂👍

Oh my gosh. I love them!

[@thomasw.glasgow7449]

yeah the old folk loved seeing the horses , an kids too , good job there boys , aye !

[@601salsa]

Amazing animals. Once you have a horse's trust a whole new experience is opened up to you. Mounted cops are awesome. I am learning to drive horse drawn carriages and loving it. Just need to loose weight and eventually i'll get my own horse or two.

[@itsallgood4093]

I drove a horse carriage for over 13 yrs in our downtown. It's an amazing nerve racking job, but I loved it!!!

[@kris-tkris-t3271]

Someone need to let Patrick Star know that’s what’s “Jets”, nickname!!!

[@bgjim27]

That's cool . But I would find it really hard for me to ride a horse so slow and comely after being a jockey for a long time Lol .But we need more of this .

Harvest is 17 hands tall

I love that they ride western most horse back patrol officers ride English

[@erynd2524]

How heartwarming!

[@sheilawhite8314]

that was naughty of harvest he was totally bad pony lol so love him

[@clairesturman9299]

It is amazing that they are that good trained

[@pointly]

It's not Seattle PD with out them visiting a Starbucks or a cop drinking Starbucks.

[@gerrycoleman7290]

Long shank bits............people, you do not want to control the horse through pain, fear, and intimidation. Check out how the Houston Mounted Patrol trains and equips their horses.

[@vikingclarinet23]

2:41 I think I found Shane Dawson’s horse counterpart. Also, next thing you know there will be police cats.

[@whattheydidnttellyouwithbr2844]

A city in Russia already has them, so does Japan.

2:24 it brothers me that the chin strap of the helmet is not properly fastened. This way the helmet won't be efficient protection

[@edgarbrooks7695]

i would have died laughing if that horse let out a big noise when he stuck his head in the door

[@monakey2450]

My pony used to come up the stairs and poke her head in my front door looking for me. She also liked to drink beer and eat on&just sandwiches.

[@Sarah-cp1dt]

lol once my horse stole a beef burger off me at a show

[@vickiebohy1742]

Love it. My horse would take popsicles away from me. Her favorite was grape. She also would drink my coca cola. Great memories of my sweet girl, Trixie.Love and miss you and Comanche, sweet girl.

[@lindalee7322]

This is sweet.

Fun fact: There are more horses in North America now than there was in the 1800's

Hey they were at Westwood Village! :)

So what your saying is, if Harvest ever broke loose, he would know where to go for food. 😋😂

[@joliefranzese5632]

Awe Harvest 😜😘😘

[@Squishyfrogpants]

I want to be on the force.

[@gerrycoleman7290]

Consider going bitless like the Houston Mounted Patrol did.

[@barbarachipman9436]

food can be a good motivator. lol

[@didouOficial]

dream job 😭😭

[@lunajune5233]

Maybe not so many donuts occifer and you won’t break the horses back🤷🏻‍♀️ could you imagine lugging tubby on your back all day? Officers should train as much as the steed.

Of course Seattle would be the one place to saddle up western for patrol

[@kerrymulholland1249]

Cop on “Harvest” needs to shorten his stirrups

[@maxxzie3870]

Kerry Mulholland His heels are still pointed down. Your knees aren't supposed to be 90 degrees either, it's all up to what is comfortable for the rider. They are on a horse all day

[@lynnhargreaves8762]

Because Youre obviously an instructor! 😒 , he probably prefers longer leathers. Everyones different

[@emreva1357]

They aren't riding English my god, they're riding western dip shit, western riders can have longer stirrups than English riders

[@howardmckeown7187]

STFU!

[@JK-lp6uw]

Different discipline require different stirrup length, bottom line is its personal preference & comfort and safety.

[@adelinalise]

Are those kind of bits really neccesery?? You are literally just walking through the town.. Seriously Tom Thumb bits are so unnececerily cruel to horses. And they have freaking giant a** spurs too, like come the frick on These police man should be showning a good example to everyone, clearly they are not Now I am not the person who attacks everyone that rides in bits, a simple snaffle is fine. I mean you do you boo, but those kind of bits are really cruel..

[@gerrycoleman7290]

I mentioned that they need to contact the Houston Mounted Patrol to learn how those horses are trained and equipped.

[@kikiv7332]

When I was 10 if rode in a Tom Thumb bit, they need some lessons on what damage they are doing to their horses with those unbelievably cruel bits and sharp spurs. What is this the wild west?

[@JK-lp6uw]

[@sirdoodles5032]

Katlin Smith... They clean it up?

[@maxxzie3870]

It's also just grass and doesn't smell, so there's no harm done if the horse does poop

[@aspentheaqh5434]

@@maxxzie3870 doesn't smell?

[@eviemay298]

It would be awesome if they went bit less considering the amount of time the horses spend in a bridle

[@gerrycoleman7290]

Agreed. But they are afraid.

[@Thenoodleyone]

Only problem is not all horses take to the bitless bridle and the training costs would probably astronomical for them given how many horses they likely have. It's a nice dream, but I imagine they would have to implement the bitless training in with the initial at the start of the horses career and filter the others out as they get older ..

[@JK-lp6uw]

@@gerrycoleman7290 I would not say they are afraid. There is certain time / place for such things. Don't be commenting on what you don't know.

[@gerrycoleman7290]

@@JK-lp6uw Most people that use a bit are afraid that if they don't they won't be able to control the horse.

@@gerrycoleman7290 I train horses, been working them all my.life. I have never heard such a bull shit thing as that ... ever. Control is not just yanking or pulling on the bit, some people do more harm than good. There are many factors and ques that go into control. Not just the bit.

The horses are well trained yet they use Spurs and strong bits which is very unnecessary.

[@zacharytomes5202]

Using a spur non-abusively is perfectly fine in a public setting. These are crowd control units

[@demonicsnowh.280]

They have mandated uniforms same as ever other officer.

[@gerrycoleman7290]

Because they are afraid of losing control of the horse.

[@JK-lp6uw]

@@gerrycoleman7290 you are a numb skull. Worried about the horses being afraid? You think spurs correct that? Spurs are mainly a training aid, because someone is wearing spurs does not mean that they actually use them. Sometimes just a slight tap with the spurs will coax them to do what the rider wants. Zip your mouth. You are clueless.

Mackenzie Smith You are incorrect. I have had horses & mules all my life. Mules are more reliable, sure footed cautious. They also will form a closer bond, mine follow me like dogs. Most of my mules were draft mules with a draft horse as the mare & they are quite large.
