Talk Horse

This week, we’re joined by Police Sergeant Heidi Cornick and Police Constable Laura Webb from the Thames Valley and Hampshire Mounted Section!

Heidi and Laura take us behind the scenes of life in the mounted police, from keeping the peace at major events to the incredible bond between horse and rider. They reveal why horses still play such an important role in policing and what makes them so effective at bringing people together.

Plus, we find out how police horses are trained to handle everything from smoke grenades to noisy crowds, the equipment that keeps them safe and how they get to enjoy some well-earned downtime in the field!
