On Mounted Patrol
Published May 01, 2008
The Nashville Mounted Patrol celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. Made up of 12 Tennessee Walking Horses and their riders, the patrol keeps order among crowds with a lot of pedestrian traffic.
“We’re out every day on patrol somewhere,” says Sergeant J.D. Harber. “Our main focus is special events, and we go to about 600
events a year.”
That includes everything from Tennessee Titans games to school demonstrations.
The Mounted Patrol enjoys positive regard in Nashville, Harber says.
“Nobody ever wanted to pet my police car,” he says.
