Today Alex got the opportunity with his class to visit with 2 members of the Toledo Mounted Police and ask them how they help the community. The horses were named Renegade and Rookie. The officers talked about how they select and train the horses, how they care for the horses and the kinds of patrols they do. One of their main jobs is to provide the security of a police presence at Toledo Mud Hens home games. They talked about haw they use the size of the horses, along with special moves like walking sideways, to help with crowd control. The horses manes are kept cut short to prevent someone from grabbing them. After a question and answer period, everyone got to meet and pet the horses.
