Mm mmm, nothing like a horse in uniform! Hah. I'll have to show you the Royal Canadian Mounted Police when you come here... they do a musical ride that is pretty cool.

those horses look a bit scruffy, or is that just me? the ones i see in perth are always immaculate. what kind of saddles do those guys have? police always get the best gear.

love the badge on the breastplate. very nice!

Nah that is the drizzly rain screwing up my shots. :-) It was bucketing down for 15mins before it turned to drizzle so they don't look as good as they did before it came down.
I'm not 100% sure about the saddles. They looked like a cross between English, dressage and military. I didn't even think to ask :P
