The last few days, Beau has had a little stay at Leahurst Hospital, where he had two lumps removed.
He will be taking it easy for a few weeks while the incision sites heal.
A big thank you to the amazing vets and staff at the hospital who looked after him!

Happy 27th Birthday Major!
Even though Major retired from the force in 2023 we still class him as part of the team!
Major has spent the last few years living with one of our grooms Claire and his best mate Ed!

Today we had a visit from former Sgt George Jones who worked at the Mounted Section in the 70s.
He features in some of our photographs by the tack room and also won some of our trophies!
Our staff enjoyed hearing all stories today!

It was Arnie’s turn to chaperone Scottie on a local patrol early this morning. We even enjoyed a little trot up the track to do some cardio work.
Both boys were worked, cold showered and out in the field by half 9.

All our horses enjoyed a lovely few hours in the field this morning before heading back to their cool stables ahead of the heat as temperatures hit over 30 degrees here this afternoon in Merseyside!

And just like that the football season is over!
Brego & Beau patrolled the Liverpool Vs Brentford game this afternoon.
Our officers made sure our horses got extra water breaks & plenty of time in the shade as it’s been warm here today.

☀️ Brego applies his SPF, especially to his pink muzzle
☀️ Walter enjoys the weather, but tries to stay sensible

Over the past 2 days, our horses have been seen by equine dentist Ivan Stockdale for their routine 6-monthly dental checks.
The final pic shows some teeth Ivan has extracted over the years from horses at other yards.
