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

Harvest is the taller horse

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!

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."

[@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.

[@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.

[@mi4johns]

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

[@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.

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.

[@gerrycoleman7290]

Consider going bitless like the Houston Mounted Patrol did.

[@miadahhajbi6442]

How much the horse cost you a month it use to cost only to feed them $500 a month so many officers give up their house because it's very expensive to have one

[@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.

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 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?

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 ..

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

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

@@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.
