Love to see how the rider stayed calm and relaxed, did not yank the mouth and kept a soft rein so as to not give this horse any more reason to feel a little frightened and perhaps claustrophobic in the crowded city. He did not lose his temper or become frustrated to the point of giving any unnecessary punishment. No matter how "bombproof" a horse may seem they still have their flight instincts, and one would be ignorant to not be prepared and aware of the fact a horse can still get spooked. Their bond saved this horse from completely losing his shit and bolting off, since, even though he was obviously very on edge, he still managed to listen to his rider in the end, turning to him for reassurance and confidence. If only more people were able to handle situations like this with their horses in a grounded leadership mentality. Big difference between being the "boss" and being a leader for the horse.
@@StallionBY Unless you're kicking like a maniac, the horse feels a bit of a nudge from spurs that would bloody us immediately. If you don't believe me, take the shedding blade your horse loves to be brushed with and run it along your own body, see how good it feels to you.
Possibly not an accident, piaffe has historically be used in war as a holding pattern. I have heard of mounted police using the movement that way as well. It’s keeping the horse engaged with the rider so he doesn’t start freaking out as well.
That wasn't accidental..that horse was dancing.He may have been a former show horse...these horses get adopted out to the Police force..That gorgeous horse looks to be part lippizen, or Andalusian with that flowing mane, and tail.. they are usually in show.
Please that was just a hissy fit jumping at shadows and not liking the surface it was having to walk on. That was certainly not a runaway. However the rider was very calm and skilled ensuring it didnt get out of hand.
Ambria Daniels That horse looks to be young, a little over stimulated but he probably LOVES his job. There was a day that I clapped my hands about 600 feet away from one of my horses. He got so spoked he turned our metal gate into a V (he didn’t have a scratch on him) after that he turned his brain on and went back to eating grass. That’s just horses.
Afke Brolsma the police horses however need to desensitize to these things, however. The unit does not need horses rearing in fear at the sound of sirens.

I've ridden in a lot of parades in mounted colorguards. One year we returned to annual parade where it was once a wide street, had been remodeled with island in the middle. It made for narrow path, and the perspective to the horses was tight passage through sea of toddlers in strollers, with building at the end. Two of our horses acted the same that day as this video here. Narrow tree-lined sidewalk. Horses see all around them and this horse was having claustrophobia. I hope he improved and became a good cop.
Ambria Daniels abused? Wow 😂 sooo what your saying it that it’s his fault for getting after the horse because it’s clearly acting up. See we created things like spurs, crops, whips etc. to teach the horse that what they did is wrong, if you just sit there and let it happen the horse will think “oh! I can get away with this and have to do less work!” And overall the horse will keep doing it again and again and again until someone gets hurt.
I agree with 601salsa in some ways. This Andalusian Stallion is trying to avoid something scaring him which is ahead of him. I wonder if it is the blue box (garbage bin?) to the left of him, because once he passed it, he was fine. I like the way the two riders worked so well together, first by letting this white Andalusian Stallion go pass on the right, so the brown Andalusian Stallion took the lead to the left. Great team, stayed calm and collected and did not feed any added fear into either stallion. Good job.
It could possibly be the HOT pavement...stones....unless they have rubber shoes it does get hot during parades etc. We tend not to think about it but it is something we should think about. Yes, I ride horses.
@@colleencarroll4190 Hot pavement does not bother horses. Some are given hot shoeing. I agree that they should have rubber or some sort of grippy shoes.
Wife and I own a horse, and we love riding. Have made some great friends too. But one thing is for sure, lots of equestrians have lots of opinions on what everyone else should be doing.

This rider is AMAZING but i have no clue why the horse appears stressed. I'm sure his owner is very aware. But they found the PERFECT mounted police officer
Idk what you definition of equestrian is but ive been breaking green horses then training and selling them for years now and your comment hurt me bit haha. In my experience nobody talks to their horses like that except for in the movies and people who think the movies are realistic. In all reality speaking to a horse like that which you already have saddled and/or are sitting on is more confusing to it. Especially since a well trained horse should have very specific commands it follows only and everything else it should ignore. By that i mean where you said "whoooa calm down your okay" one of my horses would have locked up at the word whoah, then ignored every other word. And if you are to the point where you are trying to calm a horse by speaking like that the horse must be very untrained, and if the horse is trained you may want to try calming it with body language and touch. They are much more effective to a horse that trusts you, or has literally ever had a rider on it. I wouldn't have jumped on this comment if you hadn't said "im such an equestrian LOL" horse enthusiasts say that, not equestrians. And in all reality people like me who use horses as tools instead of pets find the term equestrian pretty annoying in the first place since it is generally associated with poorly trained horses and riders.
Pay attention to the horses ears too. Their ears are the same as the body. If you're not paying attention the horse won't give you its direct attention.
I can't believe they're allowed to ride without helmets! On a concrete surface, if he comes off and hits his head... I realise that helmet-wearing is much less prevalent in some parts of the world, but the kind of work mounted police do and the environments in which they work would place them at far greater risk of falling off and getting injured than a rider just practicing dressage in a sand arena.
endacraig1 He was giving very direct instructions for the horse to listen to, when the horse ignored him he added pressure. Once the horse did what he was asked, he released. Each to their own, I personally don’t wear spurs but from my perspective this was far from animal cruelty. I have seen many inexperienced riders let their emotions get the best of them and I have had something to say but this guy didn’t get upset, he wasn’t asking for anything the horse couldn’t manage. (Horse to stand in shade/shadow of tree) It is very difficulty become a mounted police officer, they’re carefully selected and it’s their job to ride in the public eye and should never hurt a fellow officer (the horses). If you’re genuinely concerned for the horse, perhaps you saw something I didn’t, then by all means, report the video.
@@bladelizdemon Very direct instructions to do what precisely? ..... Standing under the shade of the tree was an accidental destination and where the horse stood quietly the spur having been removed. The continued prolonged use of the spur indicates that this rider has little regard for it's proper use. There are many things here which would call into question this rider's mindset. In any event this was hardly an acceptable location for an attempted training session if indeed that's what it was. This, as you can see, is a highly strung young stallion. ..... you call it ' pressure ' .... i call it abuse . He should be grounded permanently.
endacraig1 it looked to me like the horse was spooking at shadow from the start so rider was asking horse to stand on shadow (under tree) to see there was nothing to be afraid of. Again, you must have seen something I didn’t.
That breed of horse are known for their footwork and are easily trained to dance. Natural behavior and the the horse might not have experience. Hats off to the cops.
I didn't know mounted police rode Lusitano's. These horses are incredibly nervous but also short coupled, which makes them easy to sit still on. Beautiful horse and well done that man for staying calm and relaxed.
THIS ISNT SYMPATHY!!! OMG What planet are you on!!!??? Thank you Melissa for calling this idiot out on this CRAP behavior by human...abuse the hell out sentient beings. Fuck that
@@ambriadaniels8786 I love how the horse is the one acting up and the human gets all the blame. Typical left wing nut job living in a fairy world where discipline is abuse and being made to work is cruel and unusual punishment.
Ambria Daniels when you are a rider with his skill, then reply. You obviously have no first hand knowledge regarding horses. The boot spurs are short and dull and work well with a well trained horse to communicate without abuse or dramatics. The horse hide is thick, no a use with these particular spurs. There is no yanking on the mouth. Had there been, this horse would be bleeding from the corners of the mouth. The rider has a hand firmly on the reins which communicates a consistent message to this spirited horse. It was excellent skills by this rider. This pair have a good working relationship and both exhibit that they communicate well. As to your response, it is ignorant and baseless. Sadly too many working horses are driven out of work due to the political pressures that come from people such as yourselves. The out of work horses do not go to a pleasant life somewhere, they go to auction where in most cases they are sold to kill buyers who ship to Canada and Mexico for slaughter for the Euro meat market. If you doubt this, then go to any horse auction at the locations that hold weekly auctions. I have owned several horses and donkeys that I purchased directly from the kill buyers after auction, my own bit for horse rescue. With your compassionate interest in horses I wonder how many you have rescued from slaughter?
Again, this movement is a standard police horse-trained movement for moving people in crowds. The horse was not upset or frightened or anything but obedient, certainly not "runaway". Still, I don't like the spurs, shank bits, etc.
Horses can be silly creatures. One gelding I loved to bits was 99.9% bombproof, alright one time he kicked a bus because it got 2 foot from his arse, but otherwise nothing bothered him. A bit of a tank being a percheron/Irish Draft horse. Horses spooking and running into him? Act like a roadblock. Illegal dirtbikers riding kind of dangerously and reving their engines, no problem! Put them in their place when they discover the collosal size of this animal. Little white butterfly boops him on the nose? OH HELL NAW! There was also this one other horse that managed to find a tiny sweet wrapper amongst the recycled material schooling surface. It was like, one out of a box of sweets and somehow THAT was scary. You never know what might be out there to get them LOL.
Oh. I feel that white butterfly spook. My mare is perfect with most traffic, tractors, tarps, umbrellas, etc. But she dumped me because of a cricket. Wasn't even a big cricket.
Yes! I've known horses like that. My pal Nehemiah would squeeze between the gatepost and front end loader when we would plow out the barnyard but if he saw one anywhere else it was on like Donkey Kong. Another mare would respond to the same exact item like a ditch or a tree. One time it would be fine another time she would spook. Kept you on your toes for sure
it looked like he was new to the streets and was probably still adjusting to the new smells, sounds and sights. alternatively he looked like he was spooked by that blue bin. also i agree, that was a beautiful horse! i think that maybe it was a lusitano?
Excellent rider 🐴 that he didn’t get flustered. Hey, I just don’t want to work today 💜❤️. My horse has tantrums all the time, someone comes by and she senses something wrong and she just stops and stamps her feet.
Here's a beautiful horse showing off his best dance moves to the folks in the outdoor diner, while rider holds on for dear life. Seriously though the rider was awesome trying to get the horse calm.
As others have pointed out, some of this nervous behavior was probably a reaction to the shadows. But sometimes horses act like this when they want to be in the lead. From their point of view, this is a competition with the other horse.
absolutely, was a pleasure to watch although I was on edge, obviously a young horse out with an older calm horse for his training, but fair play to the horse, he didn't rear or try to buck his rider off, well done both of you
@@ambriadaniels8786 And how do you know what situation a horse will spook at until you arrive at it? I'll give an example. My current horse is pretty much bombproof. Live cows, machines etc. Not one problem..until we came close to a dreaded plywood cow cutout. In 0.05 of second I was in this situation. You, dear Ambria, seem to have lots of experience, so please educate me on what I may do to avoid this in the future?
This horse is simply unprepared to do what he is being asked to do. His temperament may not ever allow him to be a police horse. Using horses for mounted police work is not abuse despite what some may think. The trained mounted officer is the equivalent of ten officers on foot and that is a conservative estimate. The operative term is a trained pair: to wit, both the officer and horse. This horse is a detriment at the time of the filming and if the horse had been properly trained and desensitized the officer/trainer would have known if the horse was ready to place a hoof on the street. The mounted officer has skills and is using them; however, this horse is no where near ready for patrol work and that comes down to human error for allowing this situation to get to this point. The training at this stage NEVER takes place on the street. It is simply too dangerous for all involved:; to wit: the Officer, the horse and the public The back-up officer and horse need to get over to this pair, get a hold of the white horse and escort the pair back to the stables. Moving away from the horse and officer having trouble is making it worse. Make no mistake this is a situation which is one phone call away from CNN. Written by a retired police officer who served on a police mounted patrol both as an officer and trainer for the Unit.
Thank you for your service sir! I rather agree with your assessment. Had it gone further, the grey would quickly have become a 1200 pound danger to the people he is being trained to protect. It looked like this happened next to a cafe with outdoor seating, and there were plenty of people walking by on the other side of the trees. Looks like they need to head back yo the yard for some more sacking out...
You know nothing for all your claimed experience. This is ignorant abuse of a horse. Continuous spurring ( right leg ) for no apparent reason makes this a case of cruelty. This rider does not deserve this horse and shoud be reported for unnecessary cruelty.
@@endacraig1 The horse deserves a lot worse than what it got. And you don't deserve the protection our police give you. Your attitude is self righteous, ignorant and shameful. You are so concerned for an animal who would kill you to get its own rear to safety, but you care nothing for the brave men and women who daily put their lives on the line for all of us. You are a disgrace.
Not a runaway. Just a training session of the white horse walking on shadows of the trees and lamps. Horse is thinking "OMG.. that is a bottomless hole. No way." Dancing around trying to avoid putting feet onto the shadow. Beautiful Andalusian. Good rider calmly doing training. Second rider & horse are helping. I do think that riders should wear helmets, just in case.
Even the best trained police horses can have a moment of panic. Just goes to show you how much training the officer has had to deal with the occasional spooking issue
@DarkKing_776 it's like flipping a coin. Your car's problem always has a mechanical explanation. Your horse's problem is something which exists in the horse's mind. A car's problem is generally something which can be diagnosed and fixed. A horse's problem is frequently so inexplicable as to be irreparable.
I appreciate how the other horse was like “dude whenever you’re done” and never acted on his pal’s nervous energy

And if you are to the point where you are trying to calm a horse by speaking like that the horse must be very untrained, and if the horse is trained you may want to try calming it with body language and touch. They are much more effective to a horse that trusts you, or has literally ever had a rider on it. I wouldn't have jumped on this comment if you hadn't said "im such an equestrian LOL" horse enthusiasts say that, not equestrians. And in all reality people like me who use horses as tools instead of pets find the term equestrian pretty annoying in the first place since it is generally associated with poorly trained horses and riders.
Pay attention to the horses ears too. Their ears are the same as the body. If you're not paying attention the horse won't give you its direct attention.
It's simple... the horse does not like their rider... the old man should have just got off, but he didn't. Horse: I'm having none of this!
Первый раз на асфальте 🥴
Green horse with expert rider!
Well done, keeping the horse calm whilst he is trying to get his feet. Proper training takes a while and you seem to be doing a fine job.
Run away horse ??? 🤨
The policeman was calming and gentle to the horse
Nice and cool guy.....thank you staying so cool and friendly
What a gorgeous horse. Great team work.
NOT GREAT TEAM WORK IDIOT. TERRIBLE
@@ambriadaniels8786 What a kind person you are!
The horse was just Tap dancing. That was beautiful!
Great handling. Nice job keeping it from rearing or bolting!
The horse is clearly agitated. The rider is doing a great job of controlling him. He is no a run a way.
Calm competent rider-bravo!
I can't believe they're allowed to ride without helmets! On a concrete surface, if he comes off and hits his head... I realise that helmet-wearing is much less prevalent in some parts of the world, but the kind of work mounted police do and the environments in which they work would place them at far greater risk of falling off and getting injured than a rider just practicing dressage in a sand arena.
He is like hi there shadow wanna dance lol too cute that police officer have alot of patience
Well ridden. Rider didn’t get emotional, he was patient, quiet hands with committed yet firm aids.
You have no idea ....... did you miss his ignorant, unnecessary spurring ... he should be reported for cruelty..
endacraig1 He was giving very direct instructions for the horse to listen to, when the horse ignored him he added pressure. Once the horse did what he was asked, he released.
Each to their own, I personally don’t wear spurs but from my perspective this was far from animal cruelty.
I have seen many inexperienced riders let their emotions get the best of them and I have had something to say but this guy didn’t get upset, he wasn’t asking for anything the horse couldn’t manage. (Horse to stand in shade/shadow of tree)
It is very difficulty become a mounted police officer, they’re carefully selected and it’s their job to ride in the public eye and should never hurt a fellow officer (the horses). If you’re genuinely concerned for the horse, perhaps you saw something I didn’t, then by all means, report the video.
@@bladelizdemon Very direct instructions to do what precisely? ..... Standing under the shade of the tree was an accidental destination and where the horse stood quietly the spur having been removed. The continued prolonged use of the spur indicates that this rider has little regard for it's proper use. There are many things here which would call into question this rider's mindset. In any event this was hardly an acceptable location for an attempted training session if indeed that's what it was. This, as you can see, is a highly strung young stallion. ..... you call it ' pressure ' .... i call it abuse . He should be grounded permanently.
endacraig1 it looked to me like the horse was spooking at shadow from the start so rider was asking horse to stand on shadow (under tree) to see there was nothing to be afraid of.
Again, you must have seen something I didn’t.
The heat from the concrete was heating the horse shoes. Notice that the horse calms down when standing on the shadow.
Back right leg was giving out thats why the horse lost it
That breed of horse are known for their footwork and are easily trained to dance. Natural behavior and the the horse might not have experience. Hats off to the cops.
I didn't know mounted police rode Lusitano's. These horses are incredibly nervous but also short coupled, which makes them easy to sit still on. Beautiful horse and well done that man for staying calm and relaxed.
Alexander the Great had the same problem almost 3000 years ago!
Lovely sympathetic riding from the policeman
Nicola Sharp sympathetic? He was spuring the heck out of that horse
А
Ф
THIS ISNT SYMPATHY!!! OMG What planet are you on!!!??? Thank you Melissa for calling this idiot out on this CRAP behavior by human...abuse the hell out sentient beings. Fuck that
@@ambriadaniels8786 I love how the horse is the one acting up and the human gets all the blame. Typical left wing nut job living in a fairy world where discipline is abuse and being made to work is cruel and unusual punishment.
*clack clack clack clickty click clack click*
Horse: *MY GOD....IM MAKING MY OWN THEME SONG. HEY STEVE CHECK THIS OUT!*
Excelente policía .. quitando los miedos del caballo
Nonsense... bullshit
Excellent work. Horse being a horse with a very capable rider.
NOT EXCELLENT WORK- ABUSIVE WORK. Spurring it,pulling on the mouth, HOWS THAT EXCELLENT farmwife???? Hmmmm????
Ambria Daniels when you are a rider with his skill, then reply. You obviously have no first hand knowledge regarding horses. The boot spurs are short and dull and work well with a well trained horse to communicate without abuse or dramatics. The horse hide is thick, no a use with these particular spurs. There is no yanking on the mouth. Had there been, this horse would be bleeding from the corners of the mouth. The rider has a hand firmly on the reins which communicates a consistent message to this spirited horse. It was excellent skills by this rider. This pair have a good working relationship and both exhibit that they communicate well. As to your response, it is ignorant and baseless. Sadly too many working horses are driven out of work due to the political pressures that come from people such as yourselves. The out of work horses do not go to a pleasant life somewhere, they go to auction where in most cases they are sold to kill buyers who ship to Canada and Mexico for slaughter for the Euro meat market. If you doubt this, then go to any horse auction at the locations that hold weekly auctions. I have owned several horses and donkeys that I purchased directly from the kill buyers after auction, my own bit for horse rescue. With your compassionate interest in horses I wonder how many you have rescued from slaughter?
Farmerwifetard I have been riding since I was 7 and owned my !st horse at 8. Dumb bitch
That rider appears very overweight for the horse. The action of the horses legs indicated that they were overloaded. That man should get a bike!
Eddie respectfully, you have no clue about horses.
When did it runaway?
The horse wasn't spooked, just agitated. Nice handling by the rider. Beautiful horses.
👏👏👏 very well handled
I think the heat rising from the surface was unsettling him bit like a cat on a hot tin roof.
Again, this movement is a standard police horse-trained movement for moving people in crowds. The horse was not upset or frightened or anything but obedient, certainly not "runaway". Still, I don't like the spurs, shank bits, etc.
You can nail horse shoes into the hooves without them feeling any pain at all. Why would you think they would feel a hot pavement?
"And now, I must dance!"
A good lesson in horsemanship
Yes, a perfect how NOT to ride.
this pretty much a "tantrum" pretty common with horses when they want to lead but have to stay behind another horse. nicely handle
Horses can be silly creatures. One gelding I loved to bits was 99.9% bombproof, alright one time he kicked a bus because it got 2 foot from his arse, but otherwise nothing bothered him. A bit of a tank being a percheron/Irish Draft horse.
Horses spooking and running into him? Act like a roadblock.
Illegal dirtbikers riding kind of dangerously and reving their engines, no problem! Put them in their place when they discover the collosal size of this animal.
Little white butterfly boops him on the nose? OH HELL NAW!
There was also this one other horse that managed to find a tiny sweet wrapper amongst the recycled material schooling surface. It was like, one out of a box of sweets and somehow THAT was scary.
You never know what might be out there to get them LOL.
Oh. I feel that white butterfly spook. My mare is perfect with most traffic, tractors, tarps, umbrellas, etc. But she dumped me because of a cricket. Wasn't even a big cricket.
Yes! I've known horses like that. My pal Nehemiah would squeeze between the gatepost and front end loader when we would plow out the barnyard but if he saw one anywhere else it was on like Donkey Kong. Another mare would respond to the same exact item like a ditch or a tree. One time it would be fine another time she would spook. Kept you on your toes for sure
Beautiful horses!!! What might be spooking him ... new shoes?? Just beautiful!!
it looked like he was new to the streets and was probably still adjusting to the new smells, sounds and sights. alternatively he looked like he was spooked by that blue bin. also i agree, that was a beautiful horse! i think that maybe it was a lusitano?
GEEZ WHAT COULDA SPOOKED HIM GEE I WONDER DUMBASS. STOP USING HORSES IN LAW ENFORCEMENT HORSES SHOULD NEVER BE USED IN SUCH A MANNER
@@ambriadaniels8786 You're right. Let's grind them up for dog meat or make more glue with them instead.
@@holly4239 also the fact that the rider wasn't taking his spurs out of the horses side for a second :/
Doesn't help if the horse is already stressed
What a great rider!
Wonderful rider! Understood what was upsetting the horse and worked him thru it.
I like police horses they are cool
ASSWIPE. BECOME ONE AND SEE HOW YOU LIKE POLICE HORSES
@@ambriadaniels8786 It would sure beat reading your moronic responses everywhere.
Can ya re-upload this with some salsa music or something! 😁🤣
Excellent rider 🐴 that he didn’t get flustered. Hey, I just don’t want to work today 💜❤️. My horse has tantrums all the time, someone comes by and she senses something wrong and she just stops and stamps her feet.
Here's a beautiful horse showing off his best dance moves to the folks in the outdoor diner, while rider holds on for dear life. Seriously though the rider was awesome trying to get the horse calm.
As others have pointed out, some of this nervous behavior was probably a reaction to the shadows. But sometimes horses act like this when they want to be in the lead. From their point of view, this is a competition with the other horse.
Yes, I was thinking the same thing. If the other horse had walked on I think the white horse would have followed it.
Who titled this?? Lol have you ever seen a horse run off with someone? This was not it😮

Great horse riding skills
Andalusian?
That was my guess too, he's gorgeous.
Does anyone know why he’s riding a stallion for this purpose? I have seen them use stallions before.
That’s what I thought too.
Why not
I know nothing about horses but this horse rider looked to have done a really good job
What a beautiful horse!
he handled that amazingly
Handled like an absolute boss
Good rider 👍
WAS THERE AN IMAGINARY HORSE THAT RAN ?
great horsmanship
NOPE!!! WRONG AGAIN!!! ABUSIVE HORSEMANSHIP!!! GET HORSES OUT OF TRAFFIC AND OTHER TERRIFYING SITUATIONS THEY DO NOT BELONG IN LAW ENFORCEMENT
absolutely, was a pleasure to watch although I was on edge, obviously a young horse out with an older calm horse for his training, but fair play to the horse, he didn't rear or try to buck his rider off, well done both of you
He handle it very good respect
WRONG IF HE HANDLED IT CORRECTLY HE WOULDVE SAID IM NOTPUTTING THIS HORSE IN THAT SITUATION....DUH
@@ambriadaniels8786 You realize everyone is laughing at you, right?
@@ambriadaniels8786 And how do you know what situation a horse will spook at until you arrive at it? I'll give an example. My current horse is pretty much bombproof. Live cows, machines etc. Not one problem..until we came close to a dreaded plywood cow cutout. In 0.05 of second I was in this situation. You, dear Ambria, seem to have lots of experience, so please educate me on what I may do to avoid this in the future?
Beautiful white gray horse
Horsy wants to go to the beach, not to work. I see some of them in Retiro Park e very day. They are gorgeous
Oh my lord how beautiful they were dancing!!!
This horse is simply unprepared to do what he is being asked to do. His temperament may not ever allow him to be a police horse. Using horses for mounted police work is not abuse despite what some may think. The trained mounted officer is the equivalent of ten officers on foot and that is a conservative estimate. The operative term is a trained pair: to wit, both the officer and horse. This horse is a detriment at the time of the filming and if the horse had been properly trained and desensitized the officer/trainer would have known if the horse was ready to place a hoof on the street. The mounted officer has skills and is using them; however, this horse is no where near ready for patrol work and that comes down to human error for allowing this situation to get to this point. The training at this stage NEVER takes place on the street. It is simply too dangerous for all involved:; to wit: the Officer, the horse and the public The back-up officer and horse need to get over to this pair, get a hold of the white horse and escort the pair back to the stables. Moving away from the horse and officer having trouble is making it worse. Make no mistake this is a situation which is one phone call away from CNN. Written by a retired police officer who served on a police mounted patrol both as an officer and trainer for the Unit.
Thank you for your service sir! I rather agree with your assessment. Had it gone further, the grey would quickly have become a 1200 pound danger to the people he is being trained to protect. It looked like this happened next to a cafe with outdoor seating, and there were plenty of people walking by on the other side of the trees. Looks like they need to head back yo the yard for some more sacking out...
just like an officer and his canine partner, they have to get use to each other then things will fall into place.
You know nothing for all your claimed experience. This is ignorant abuse of a horse. Continuous spurring ( right leg ) for no apparent reason makes this a case of cruelty. This rider does not deserve this horse and shoud be reported for unnecessary cruelty.
@@endacraig1 The horse deserves a lot worse than what it got. And you don't deserve the protection our police give you. Your attitude is self righteous, ignorant and shameful. You are so concerned for an animal who would kill you to get its own rear to safety, but you care nothing for the brave men and women who daily put their lives on the line for all of us. You are a disgrace.
Not a runaway. Just a training session of the white horse walking on shadows of the trees and lamps. Horse is thinking "OMG.. that is a bottomless hole. No way." Dancing around trying to avoid putting feet onto the shadow. Beautiful Andalusian. Good rider calmly doing training. Second rider & horse are helping. I do think that riders should wear helmets, just in case.
If it's a hot sunny day it's very possible that path is too warm for the horse to walk on.
Wow can't get over some of these comments. Haha
must be somepony's first day on the job lol
Even the best trained police horses can have a moment of panic. Just goes to show you how much training the officer has had to deal with the occasional spooking issue
This cop just had a learning experience. He now knows why the automobile was invented
@DarkKing_776 it's like flipping a coin. Your car's problem always has a mechanical explanation. Your horse's problem is something which exists in the horse's mind. A car's problem is generally something which can be diagnosed and fixed. A horse's problem is frequently so inexplicable as to be irreparable.
