Im after any info on the type of horse used in the mouted police force, i think its a cross between a draft & thoroughbred. I also want to know about the training regime and how we have changed their natural behaviour to benefit us. Thanks

Most functional mounted police don't use a specific type.
However the RCMP use a Thoroughbred/Hanoverian mix because those horses are simply for show.

Dont think there is any particular breed although probably a minimum height of 16 hands or so. The link below has some more info. You could try writing or emailling a police force that uses horses for more info.

I used to hire a horse for classes [he have been given his routines and that i taught him some dressage plus I have been given saddle time so it became into win-win] who had earlier been an lively police horse. His proprietor became right into a policeman and that they labored collectively, so while the guy retired greenback went to the stables and that i've got been given to artwork with him. so some distance as I knew he wasn't any specific form [in basic terms a smallish, form of stubby buckskin gelding], which makes me suspect there are no standards as long because of the fact the horse is cooperative, secure, and nicely-knowledgeable. although, they could have diverse regulations in diverse places [i'm in the California Bay section].

The RCMP in Canada breed trakehners exclusivly through a private breeding program.
