On a trip downtown we saw one of our Cincinnati's Finest on horseback.
Back when our daughter was about 13 or 14 years old she and others in her age group worked as volunteers with park service where the horses were trained. The kids did a lot of work shoveling, but their reward was being able to work with the horses. They were part of the training of running around and making noise when asked to do so as well as care taking of the horses. It was a fabulous experience.
We are very proud of our mounted police here in Cincinnati.
All the best,
Lois
I can only imagine what a wonderful experience that had to be for your daughter! We had mounted police in Chicago of coarse but not here, it's a smaller town. We do have police on bicycles however for some of the larger events. Love Di ♥

ReplyDeleteI wonder to day if she your daughter is fond to ride horses at riding stables.
My niece owns a Riding stable now. Since a young girl like your daughter that was her passion to ride.
She bought her first horse won trophes, ribbons.
Now her daughter falls suite.
Now her Mom has a riding school and teaches girls like your daughter was.
Just was wondering.
Hi Everyone,
