  • For many decades, the mounted police of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, has been patrolling the city with grey horses. Seargant Kelly-Anne Taylor-Wilson told us the mounted operation units, established in 1838, have been working with grey horses because of their high visibility. After years of good training, the horses are able to help the police in crowd protests and civil disorder situations. All the horses are well cared for, well looked after and live a long life in comfort, during as well as after policing.

    Some horse's truly love having a purpose. My horse was happiest in training. Now I didn't train him the way these horses are trained. These horses are as well trained as the K9 Corp. It takes years to make a good police horse.They must be steady but have a noble heart. Some fire but the smarts to channel it.Amazing. I love greys.

    Police horses are trained to be rock-steady. I can't help but think the retired horses would be great for rehab programs with disabled children.

      Many city horses wear hard rubber shoes. I am sure much thought is put into the shoeing of these horses. You don't sink all that time into prepping a horse to lose him to bad feet.

I mean the horse boots just seem like a logical choice given the training etc that goes into them. That and the rubber boots wouldnt slip like metal shoes. Idk figure there must be a reason..just curious. A question I've had for a while.

Having marched my horse in a parade once I must say metal shoes on tarmac was a real problem. I canna believe in this day of specialized shoes for all horse sports they would risk the knees and feet of their beloved horses. I will have to Google this further.

    So much training just to keep them calm in public with cars and mobs of people everywhere, it's nice to keep them active, but is it really necessary to ride a horse when you have to dismount anyways to fix any issues. Might as well ride a bicycle, eh? Spare the potential harm of the horse if something goes wrong. I wouldn't personally use a bit either, but pain methods must go on for control freaks...

      Animals love having a purpose. The police have long employed animals in helping keep the peace and honestly, the risk of injury during their job is just as bad if they had been jumpers or eventers. Most police horses wear specialized rubber shoes to help their joints. I would love to be part of the mounted patrol.

      @@DanishButterCookie as an equestrian I agree with you that some animals surely like having a purpose but certainly not all of them, and there's a difference between a good purpose and damaging their feet on a daily basis plus stressing them because of everything that they are going through, everybody can say things between the lines of that they are "trained" but 1. You can't be 100% trained 2. Their training is basically based on getting used to fear but at the start it was a stressful fear right? Sorry if I came of too aggressive I didn't mean to.
