For those who have worked with thoroughbreds and tried to teach them new “tricks,” imagine this: Tens of thousands of concert goers, traffic backed up for miles, horns honking and people getting rowdy. And you’re in the middle of this melee mounted on a horse who raced at the Hat track just six months ago.
This isn’t an unusual situation for the officers at the Kentucky llorse Park. They work crowd and traffic control, and issue citations from horseback. In fact, they can lire a weapon and use a baton, all while in the saddle.
“We teach the horses to walk up and down steps and how to walk across sheets of plastic on the ground. It’s all about building trust. We use a lot of positive reinforcement and the thoroughbreds really seem to respond,” Trooper Denny Chapman explained.
Trooper Chapman is one of the few members of the force that came in with trained riding experience. Having competed on the intercollegiate level for Murray Stale University in Kentucky in both hunt seat and stock seat, he is applying his equine knowledge to his new career.
