Over the past few months weāve been working with PC Geoff from Merseyside Police. Heās supported our sponsored walk, visited the Cottage, talked about keeping safe online to name a few thingsā and now heās given our members the amazing opportunity to visit the Mounted Police Section!
When we arrived, the excitement was huge! We were welcomed by Fliss, a mounted police officer, who showed us around the stables. PC Geoff brought carrots and polos so everyone could feed the horses.
We met Hunter, Albie, Chunky, Brago, Amber, Silver, Diamond, Arnie and Scottie ā and learned so much! The horses cover events all over Merseyside, from football matches to protests, and this section is the oldest mounted police unit in the country. The tallest horse is 18.5 hands (very tall indeed!).
We also got to see all the facilities ā an indoor arena for training, a salon for wash-downs, the tack the horses wear and all the specialist kit the officers and horses use for different aspects of their job.
Amber, one of our members, said:
āThe things I liked about the visit was being able to feed and stroke the horses, and also finding out the training the horses have to go through ā it was really interesting.ā
A huge thank you to PC Geoff for his ongoing support in giving our members such positive and memorable experiences. Thank you also to and the staff at the Mounted Police Section for being so welcoming to us all.
Donāt forget to follow @merseypolicehorses to keep up with their work!
