+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.

Huge respect to both people and the horses! To people, because they have patience to train and ride those horses. And to horses, because they stay calm in sometimes very stressing situations. Their level of training is impressive.
Horses enjoy having a purpose and the familiarity of the same partner everyday. ILOVE to see them at work. Both the officer in his uniform and the spiffed up horses look so handsome. It’s the same with a dog in the K-9 units.
Sooner Mimi I’m sure these horses want nothing more than to run on a large pasture. But they have to work all day and barely get any pasture time if they do at all.
@@alannamccarthy3947 PLEASE. A horse is one animal that knows how to get what he wants. If he didn't want to work he would have shown that. All I saw were relaxed horses.

Idk how you can like seeing animals put in danger and everyday . I don't think horses want to have a purpose everything they want is to eat and play. And tbh a lot of those horses are being abused while training or still.
The schoolmaster horse I WANT to own, but can't afford in this lifetime is 16.3hh (I'm 5'10" though, and can get on a horse under 15hh without a block, even when I'm what I consider out of shape). It's definitely a bit of a climb without a mounting block. I've seen a couple of amazing horse owners train their horses to kneel for their rider to mount, but most of us mortals just find a rock or a fencepost or something to get that little boost up. 😅
Ahehehe I am 12, 5' 1'' and I have a Dutch Warmblood who is 17.3hh... Also he is only 4 years old so he moves whenever I try to get on him, also I never use a mounting block, I put my foot in the stirrup, grab the front of the saddle, and hoist myself up :)
The reason I ride horses is because I've loved them since I was 2. I started riding when I was 6. I am now 14 and my dad inspires me because he is a mounted police officer. His horse is very pretty and I enjoy riding and I enjoy seeing him ride too.
I couldn't think of anything better then working with horses in a career that you enjoy . Having such a special working relationship with your horse and a personal bond knowing that you both are going to be looking out for each other and helping people must be very rewardimg .
Shani Wilkins The horses have been trained and yes they could get ran over but if you saw that massive thing in the middle of the road in front of you , you’d stop. They are very intimidating and could get information out of people , and make people’s day by meeting these amazing creatures. 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.
Shani Wilkins and also if you go on a hack your endangering your horse but if your on the back of it you can steer it off the road. Hacks are very common with horse riders and help build confidence near roads for your horses.

I kind of just want to got to take care of the horses for them! I have been working/riding with horses for over 7 years! They are so sweet. I love how the horses just sit there and wait patently for the officers to do their work! So cute. I love Clydesdales.
The horses looks like they are engoying their jobs? Are you crazy? You don't know nothing about horses to think that this is what they like to do, in fact that horse even spooked when that old lady threw the water bottle and after that he was so anxious that he couldn't even stay still.
@Tineke Piggott You're right, it's not what they prefer. They would prefer to stand around and eat all day and be useless to everyone but themselves. I would prefer to stay home and do whatever I wanted all day instead of going to work, too, but that would make me useless. These horses have a purpose, and a noble one. It is great to see these animals laying down the law instead of always being the victims.
As a horse lover, I will say this group is fantastic. Who would have thought riding a Clydesdale now that has to be awesome? I wonder if any of the Officers named the horse BUD.
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.
I played sso with my friend who also rides horses to see how awful it is and it’s not at all realistic. I wouldn’t expect that from a game, but it’s absolutely not realistic AT ALL. People who just play sso and think they know everything are idiots
You really are so selfish if you think that a horse has to walk all day on a street (which is bad for them) between cars, loud noises and high temperatures just because you like to sit on their back going around the city doing stuff.
@@asiasidoti5606 That's what you think the mounted patrol does? Just goes around the city doing stuff? You need to do some research before running your ignorant mouth.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Same! I live in Monterey, CA and there are several spots on the peninsula that are quite hilly. The Carmel Valley is full of equestrian trails so it would make perfect sense for Monterey's police department to have a mounted unit.
My bum hurts after an hour in a Western saddle. They are so hard and force your legs into a static position. English saddles for me, rode 8+ hours daily in them and was fine. :)
Easier on the horses to go english, most western saddles can range from 30 - 60 pounds and that adds up when you also take into account the extra gear the officers bring for police work.
@@gerrycoleman7290 Again, for the millionth time. Bits are not abusive or painfull when ussed correctly. If you don't agree with that, then you should use boots, gloves shirts or any other piece of item you may wear or use when riding, because all of those can be just as abusive and painfull to a horse as a bit. Even my long hair can be as traumatising to a horse as being literally kicked with spurs. *Not all horses can even be ridden in a hackamore or bitless.*
@@marialindell9874 Most any horse can be ridden in a traditional hackamore or rope halter, or for that matter no head gear at all. It all depends on the mutual trust and respect that has developed. When properly used these use finesse not fear.
My Great Grand father, WWI Canadian Expeditionary Force, Canadian Cavalry Corp, Fort Garry Horse. I started my career w/ The Fort Garry Horse and never knew until I was willed his saddle in 2006 that my Great Grandfather was a mbr of the Regiment. I spent 26yr svc and now recently Retired, I use his Universal Pattern Saddle which I restored this year.
Ashley Medina I get that they should but it does mess up the fit of the saddle and most of the time half pads are used if u were riding a pony or horse that isn't as big and their back is a bit shorter if that Makes sense
You’d need to fit the saddle to the horse’s back plus the half pad which squished down over time. It’s easier to get a saddle fit to your horses back throw a thin pad on so you don’t have anything else you have to deal with.
Oil only works well if the hooves are NOT dry. It keeps the moist in. If the hooves are dry and you apply oil, you actually prevent the hooves from absorbing moist. It will dry them out even worse. Soak the hooves for a long time and then apply oil. And take a good look at what oil you are using. Jojoba oil dries out the skin and hooves. Just a nice tip. The lady giving the cop water, how nice! It is amazing to see how an animal can bring people out of their houses, but also be kinder towards others. I know that police horses don't have an easy life sometimes. They are dragged into a situation they don't want to be in. They are trained not to respond to danger (like traffic and noise), but that doesn't mean they don't have stress or fear. They just don't respond. (nice article about this in the university of Guelph archives) But they are treated very well. The officers care. And so do most humans.
@@breyerowner2130, I own draft horses. And no, their bodies are not that different. The hoof is made of keratine. Oil forms a layer over the hoof, but will not be absorbed fully. The molecules of oil are too big. Water has small molecules and will be absorbed in the hoof. If you close off a dry hoof, it will stay dry. If you close off a moist hoof, it will stay moist for longer. But gosh, what do I know, right? Just studied hoof care (how to trim, take care of and prevent hoof problems) and years and years of experience and owning draft horses.
No one: Equestrians being told about horse hoof and body stuff: mhm, yep, yeah, we know, oh yeah I do that too! I know what the frog is -_- No offense I’m an equestrian my self xd
For anyone that's curious about the piece of tack that's attached to the front of the saddle, it's called a "breast collar". The shape may be diffrent, but it had the same function as the girth: To prevent the saddle from sliding off.
It's nice to see that the horses don't need perspect visors to protect their eyes. Sad to see the British police horses having to use them in crowd control for football matches...
that's a police horses job in the UK . get over it doesn't hurt them to wear protection at all .they're not just used for matches they're also used for riots when needed .
I love that the horses are considered police it makes sense. And I love when their called by the title of officer as in "Officer Oreo" and wear badges because they are ❤️💝❤️
@@lottiestanley7696 especially my Fresian...I could ride him all afternoon and then he goes right in the alley before i un-saddle him (I always give him breaks tho ,he loves being ridden and is really hard but I always give him a break)
So happy to see the hooves are treated with the best hoof care ... KEVIN BACON. My farrier recommended that for my horse and he had perfect feet all his life...Damn Good Stuff.
They use draft horses with English saddles. I would've expected western because those seem more like working and roping, which are built for police work. Master Corporal your horse needs more work its too spooky.
@@rajinbin true but if it isn't needed then there is no need, plus if the office needs to do any chasing its probably better in an English saddle. I prefer western but to each their own.
I have seen a lot of the comments, and it’s. Baffles me on how much stupidity there is! These animals weigh around 1,000 pounds depending on the breed. If they where upset, uncomfortable, or not happy they could show it. Look at how calm they where while getting equipment put on them. Bits don’t hurt the horses either, it gives the officers better control, without that control, the horse could possibly run into traffic, or cause itself harm. The officers have respect for the animals! They give each of the horses there own trailer, which where nice ones, full of food and water. They have nice stables, and equipment. These horses where trained too, they could be out on a farm with no food, getting forced to pull things around. These horses are also specific breeds. Breeds that can handle working. They are not over worked at all, they have multiple horses, so they can take shifts. They are not whatsoever overworked. They have specialized cut hoods too. Not to mention they extremely great veterans they have to care for them them. They don’t have any ribs showing, proving they are not underfed. And with just a glimpse of the stables and fields, they seem to have a nice home. Nothing you see here is animal abuse, it is amazing people, who give these horses a purpose! Stop the hate, and spread of false fact. These animals are extreamly luck you to have the care they get.
XOUknownXoXo Nmukiopljkhgbvfcdxsyaqwertzuiop R.M. You can definitely pet the horses. Some K9’s don’t like to be petted. Either way just make sure you ask first ☺️
Shelley Berry if you change the amount of a horses feed it could cause colic horses have small stomachs and they cant eat a lot of grain it could cause colic.
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!
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.
5:50 I don't know if you have to pull a horse to get him to follow you... But personally I think this video was great, clydsdales are one of my favourite breeds of horse!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
If you want to save some MONEY refill that hoof lubricator container with Mineral oil....Waste of gas carrying one horses in that huge trailer.. I have to wonder How well they would stay n if someone hit their horn....
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

@Tineke Piggott You're right, it's not what they prefer. They would prefer to stand around and eat all day and be useless to everyone but themselves. I would prefer to stay home and do whatever I wanted all day instead of going to work, too, but that would make me useless. These horses have a purpose, and a noble one. It is great to see these animals laying down the law instead of always being the victims.
@Tineke Piggott Lol brilliant reasoning there. You're bound for Harvard for sure.
Darryl Bavington oh I’m sure they love getting yanked around town without a break. Sounds super fun!
Officer Bruno is the greatest policeman ive ever met he actually does help people!!

Same right
As a horse lover, I will say this group is fantastic.
Who would have thought riding a Clydesdale now that has to be awesome?
I wonder if any of the Officers named the horse BUD.
God bless you all, I love horses !
Thank You Police Officers for Your Great Video Content and love The Horses & Police Officers
Aaah, the expertologists are swarming.
😂
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.
Caution
Lots of internet trainers and SSO players beyond this comment
Read on with care
Lol they are on every horse video!
Pet Place thanks!
Sso players 😂😂😂 it's funny but so true!
IKR the sso players think they are horse Genius just because they PLAY a horse fame
I played sso with my friend who also rides horses to see how awful it is and it’s not at all realistic. I wouldn’t expect that from a game, but it’s absolutely not realistic AT ALL. People who just play sso and think they know everything are idiots
So beautiful, I love these big horses. As I was a kid they put me on a 1,8m tall horse to learn...! The love for big horses stayed😍
Those are some handsome horses
They look really well cared for. Nice to see you use Kevin Bacons on their hooves, it’s the best! x

Me: how do u keep the sadel pad so white and clean my one is so dirty
My saddle pads are always dirty
Lmao good one I didn't even think of that western pads are a bit easier to not show dirt and I suck so bad at English mine just stays white 😂
@@checkmateknightracing7134 most are washable.

I’m shocked when I see a clean WHITE saddle pad (I can’t even keep my black one clean) 😂
at 6:27 the horse is like this is my good side please .and those lashes!!!
You have inspired me, I have always wanted to do horse riding but wanted to be a police officer I will definitely concentrate doing this
How do you think it's a good idea to put horses in risk of being run over or hurt everyday
You really are so selfish if you think that a horse has to walk all day on a street (which is bad for them) between cars, loud noises and high temperatures just because you like to sit on their back going around the city doing stuff.
Yall for fucks sake she was legit saying something that she wants to do. Plus you two dont fucking ride so back off.
@@asiasidoti5606 That's what you think the mounted patrol does? Just goes around the city doing stuff? You need to do some research before running your ignorant mouth.
Shani Wilkins Stop commenting on everyone’s comments and forcing your opinions onto them
So respect these mounted police ,and, their Equine partners! Great law enforcement ambassadors❤️
I like that they're tacked up English style.
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.
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.
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.
Kyla M. Same
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.
What a superb video ! 🐎 I wish all towns had a mounted police division !! ❣
Same! I live in Monterey, CA and there are several spots on the peninsula that are quite hilly. The Carmel Valley is full of equestrian trails so it would make perfect sense for Monterey's police department to have a mounted unit.
I couldn’t sit in a English saddle all day lol western saddles are so much comfier
My bum hurts after an hour in a Western saddle. They are so hard and force your legs into a static position. English saddles for me, rode 8+ hours daily in them and was fine. :)
I have to have a squishy saddle seat because I have hip/back issues so that might be the reason western saddle doesn’t bug me
English saddles are so incredibly comfortable. Could go all day in one, or bareback - but couldn't last more than 30 minutes in a western
I feel like a man looks funny in a English saddle and I don't like English anyway so i guess it's good i ride western
Easier on the horses to go english, most western saddles can range from 30 - 60 pounds and that adds up when you also take into account the extra gear the officers bring for police work.
Really great to see that some departments are still using mounted patrol units . Awesome!!
Yes, that is great. But they need to go bitless.
@@gerrycoleman7290 Again, for the millionth time.
Bits are not abusive or painfull when ussed correctly.
If you don't agree with that, then you should use boots, gloves shirts or any other piece of item you may wear or use when riding, because all of those can be just as abusive and painfull to a horse as a bit. Even my long hair can be as traumatising to a horse as being literally kicked with spurs.
*Not all horses can even be ridden in a hackamore or bitless.*
@@marialindell9874 Most any horse can be ridden in a traditional hackamore or rope halter, or for that matter no head gear at all. It all depends on the mutual trust and respect that has developed. When properly used these use finesse not fear.
Clydesdale cross? or pure or 3/4 with thoroughbred?. This bud's for you! That horse is TALL. Whoa. There's more of them.
How awesome is that? You guys rock, and thank you for your dedicated service!
I love Clydedales!
They are absolutely gorgeous breeds ❤️
The horses are so sweet
My welsh section d cob would make a great police horse
My Great Grand father, WWI Canadian Expeditionary Force, Canadian Cavalry Corp, Fort Garry Horse. I started my career w/ The Fort Garry Horse and never knew until I was willed his saddle in 2006 that my Great Grandfather was a mbr of the Regiment. I spent 26yr svc and now recently Retired, I use his Universal Pattern Saddle which I restored this year.
I feel they should Also use a half pad
that can actually make it worse by messing up the saddle fit then it would hurt them
Ashley Medina They’re not dressage riders or show jumpers
Ashley Medina I get that they should but it does mess up the fit of the saddle and most of the time half pads are used if u were riding a pony or horse that isn't as big and their back is a bit shorter if that Makes sense
Ohhh internet trainer
You’d need to fit the saddle to the horse’s back plus the half pad which squished down over time. It’s easier to get a saddle fit to your horses back throw a thin pad on so you don’t have anything else you have to deal with.
Oil only works well if the hooves are NOT dry. It keeps the moist in. If the hooves are dry and you apply oil, you actually prevent the hooves from absorbing moist. It will dry them out even worse.
Soak the hooves for a long time and then apply oil.
And take a good look at what oil you are using. Jojoba oil dries out the skin and hooves.
Just a nice tip.
The lady giving the cop water, how nice! It is amazing to see how an animal can bring people out of their houses, but also be kinder towards others.
I know that police horses don't have an easy life sometimes. They are dragged into a situation they don't want to be in. They are trained not to respond to danger (like traffic and noise), but that doesn't mean they don't have stress or fear. They just don't respond.
(nice article about this in the university of Guelph archives)
But they are treated very well. The officers care. And so do most humans.
NienkeJoe internet trainer your not the boss these are big horses and their horses are drafts so their bodies are different
Breyer Owner21 THANK YOUUUU!! You’re right!
K soooo putting oil on the hoof when it’s dry will soak in with water it won’t :) not trying to cause beef btw
@@breyerowner2130, I own draft horses. And no, their bodies are not that different.
The hoof is made of keratine. Oil forms a layer over the hoof, but will not be absorbed fully. The molecules of oil are too big. Water has small molecules and will be absorbed in the hoof.
If you close off a dry hoof, it will stay dry. If you close off a moist hoof, it will stay moist for longer.
But gosh, what do I know, right? Just studied hoof care (how to trim, take care of and prevent hoof problems) and years and years of experience and owning draft horses.
@@georgie9011 please read better. Eat the beef, if you please. It is nutrition for the brain.

Hats off to New Castle for this incredible effort. The public loves this !
🐴😷👍
Do they actually use clydesdales for policework? Holy hell that is impressive :-D
For anyone that's curious about the piece of tack that's attached to the front of the saddle, it's called a "breast collar". The shape may be diffrent, but it had the same function as the girth: To prevent the saddle from sliding off.
this uhhh keeps the saddle from slipping back. its a breastplate lol that made me laugh
It kinda made me laugh to
Such beautiful, patient horses x
It's nice to see that the horses don't need perspect visors to protect their eyes. Sad to see the British police horses having to use them in crowd control for football matches...
Alison Tunny it isn't sad it is for protection of their eyes
She probably meant that it is sad that perspect visors are necessary in UK because of the potential of violence of the crowds.
that's a police horses job in the UK . get over it doesn't hurt them to wear protection at all .they're not just used for matches they're also used for riots when needed .
I love that the horses are considered police it makes sense. And I love when their called by the title of officer as in "Officer Oreo" and wear badges because they are ❤️💝❤️
What if they need to potty ?

Spurs are not bad, if used properly they can save both rider and horse.

Beautiful beautiful horses! Draft are my favorite!
0:17 well they had a great sleep
I grew up around 6 horses. They are very therapeutic!
They use draft horses with English saddles. I would've expected western because those seem more like working and roping, which are built for police work. Master Corporal your horse needs more work its too spooky.
Its probably because of the weight of a western saddle.
@@chantelbarcomb1766 it's a draft horse that can pull a lot more weight than just a western saddle.
@@rajinbin true but if it isn't needed then there is no need, plus if the office needs to do any chasing its probably better in an English saddle. I prefer western but to each their own.
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
This is amazing! My grandmother was a mounted patrol officer in Texas, I hope I can become one some day!
I've ridden draft horses THAT big.
I have seen a lot of the comments, and it’s. Baffles me on how much stupidity there is! These animals weigh around 1,000 pounds depending on the breed. If they where upset, uncomfortable, or not happy they could show it. Look at how calm they where while getting equipment put on them. Bits don’t hurt the horses either, it gives the officers better control, without that control, the horse could possibly run into traffic, or cause itself harm. The officers have respect for the animals! They give each of the horses there own trailer, which where nice ones, full of food and water. They have nice stables, and equipment. These horses where trained too, they could be out on a farm with no food, getting forced to pull things around. These horses are also specific breeds. Breeds that can handle working. They are not over worked at all, they have multiple horses, so they can take shifts. They are not whatsoever overworked. They have specialized cut hoods too. Not to mention they extremely great veterans they have to care for them them. They don’t have any ribs showing, proving they are not underfed. And with just a glimpse of the stables and fields, they seem to have a nice home. Nothing you see here is animal abuse, it is amazing people, who give these horses a purpose! Stop the hate, and spread of false fact. These animals are extreamly luck you to have the care they get.
they should put lights and a siren on the horses :)

Have u used any other breeds of horse accept from draft horse. draft horses are gorgeous
Mya Nicholson sometimes they'll use thoroughbred or quarter horse crosses, but any cross breeds they do use have draft horse in them
Not all draft horses

Regular mounted officers are scary but these guys got Clydesdales, I can't imagine how horrifying it would be to see one charging at you.
Do you mind having us flag not laying around in the offices please
Nah, be proud of 'Murica
I thought the same thing. Way to go, peace officers, shows their great lack of respect.
They are treated veryy well naybe better than a normal horse and is great that they have educated riders/police officers...Good job
Gorgeous horses, but the clydesdale looks a bit thin. Maybe a little extra food?
Shelley Berry ... they're purposely breeding them to have a slimmer sleeker appearance. They don't pull heavy wagons anymore.
why do peoole.love fat horses . not skinny at all perfect weight
Shelley Berry if you change the amount of a horses feed it could cause colic horses have small stomachs and they cant eat a lot of grain it could cause colic.
and can have endurance for other tasks, too heavy in the hot summer is not good
Shelley Berry He looks great to me.
Great video. How could 218 people downvote this?
I think that there is no need to have spurs
Skyy Eventing sameeee but they aren’t using them , are they? Just normal boots
I think that there is no need to involve horses in something like that.
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
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.
Superb, I watch your video regularly
6:01 that’s better
5:50 I don't know if you have to pull a horse to get him to follow you...
But personally I think this video was great, clydsdales are one of my favourite breeds of horse!
Are you asking if you have to pull a horse to make it follow you?
They should change those bits though those are horrible
Mango the Fox They really aren't.
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.
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.
Labrador Paradise People Lol. At least we don't pierce horses tongues like humans do!!
0nyx Flying I agree
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.
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
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.
