Horses and Heroes: The Vancouver Mounted Police Ep: 9 Barn Calls w/Jonathan Field

In our final episode of this season, we meet Constable Chris Spence who delves into the rich history of the Vancouver Mounted Police. Join us as we meet Stanley, a young standardbred horse off the track and a potential police horse. Witness the suspense of whether he will make the force! The episode takes an exciting turn when Jonathan, an expert in horse behavior and horsemanship, is invited to lend a helping hand with some behavioral issues faced by the younger horses. With a mutual goal of ensuring the well-being of their equine partners, the VPD Mounted Police and Jonathan Field form an alliance to prepare the horses for duty. Together, they organize a remarkable clinic at Stanley Park, focusing on building lasting trust, effective communication, and a harmonious partnership between the horses and officers. A heartfelt thank you goes out to the Vancouver Police, the Vancouver Police Mounted Unit, all its dedicated members, and, of course, the incredible horses! Special thanks also to City of Vancouver Archives, Genevieve Harrison, and Sean Farrell for providing additional footage and archival photos. #vpd #horsmanship #workinghorses #horsetraining #stanleypark #vancouver #vancouverpolice #mountedpolice #horses #cityofvancouver #horseriding
