Stop! The Mounted Police Horses Are Stealing the Spotlight in the Equine Demos!

Today’s demo highlight is on the team behind keeping the Kentucky Horse Park and BreyerFest fans safe, the Kentucky Horse Park Mounted Police. The mounted police unit has been a familiar face at BreyerFest for years and leads guests into the park every morning on their trusted equine officers. Their demonstrations show different training obstacles and situations that can include loud sirens or walking over or under tarps as well as including a silly comedy element for their fans!

While they have a lot of fun during their BreyerFest demonstration these officers are always on duty and help provide effective crowd control and are the first to respond during any big emergencies. They patrol the park’s 1,200+ acres 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. These equine officers are very calm in all situations, especially in big crowds.
