need to fulfill the normal
duties of either a foot beat or
a car patrol. Each is
equipped with a radio to
receive messages, and m
addition, they can issue
traffic tickets, write
citations, and make up
traffic reports. The bags are
also equipped With
flashlights for night riding.
At night, the yellow band
on the housing surrounding
the saddle on the horses
shows up well in car
headlights. The horses also
wear fluorescent orange leg,
bands at night to attract thb
attention of drivers.
Nevertheless, the officers
try to avoid riding back to
the quarters in the park after
dark.
When necessary, the
patrol is eguiped with a van
and horse trailer bearing the
Mounted Patrol iden
tification. When time or
darkness are factors, they
transport their mounts to
headquarters and unload
and tack them up there.
The 7 three officers are
seldom on duty at the same
time. On market days, two
officers are on duty, while
other days usually one
works. Sunday is only
worked on special occasions.
The officers presently on
the team met stiff com
petition for their jobs. Over
20 men applied for the posts.
Both Deibert and Kuhns
agreed that they made the
right decision.
Training for the patrol was
conducted at the Wilmington
Police Academy. The
Wilmington department
donated the training to the
new patrol.
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 26,1980—€
Patrol
There during a ten week
course of both written and
mounted instruction, the
officers learned the fun
damentals of horse care. In
addition, the officers were
started in their riding in
struction working the
anurlals bareback. Deibert
explained that the purpose
here was to give the riders
the confidence they needed
to stick with their horses and
to avoid reliance on stirrups
as crutches.
Kuhns pointed out that
tradition has it that when a
patrolman falls, gets bitten
or is stepped on he treats. He
noted that he picked up the
tab a number of times.
The patrolmen were
drilled on bareback for the
first three weeks of training.
During the first 5 weeks of
the course, they switched
horses with each other. In
the last half of the course,
each chose the mount he
wanted to work with and
received training on that
horse and on the spare,
Fiber.
Training during those
weeks in' Wilmington
progressed to riding around
the park, then gradually

worked up to beat work in
the city.
The officers were
cautioned by their instructor
to pay particular attention to
their mounts. He cautioned
them that their horses once
they could read them well
would tell them about
hazards they* themselves
could not see.
The patrol was drilled m
individual work as well as
work in formation with side
passes and some elementary
dressage work. Deibert
noted that the Wilmington
patrol has readied the
second level in dressage
work.
Both officers agreed that
each day is a training day for
them. They pointed out that
a patrol horse takes from 6
months to 1 year to become
fully trained in its job. And
that they were taught during
their training to look for
something out of the or
dinary to ask their mount to
do each day. This technique
they explained is used to
counteract boredom and to
keep the horse in alert and
responsive.
The training for the horses
included standing quietly
while patrol cars circled
with sirens blaring. It also
