The Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) has re­ceived ten warm­bloods hors­es from Hol­land.

The hors­es ar­rived last Fri­day and were hand­ed over to the Mount­ed Branch.

These hors­es, which have al­ready been trained, are now in quar­an­tine.

Af­ter their ac­clima­ti­za­tion and fur­ther train­ing, the hors­es will be de­ployed for pa­trol, es­cort du­ties, and in the fight against crime.

Warm­bloods are a group of mid­dle-weight horse types, and breeds pri­mar­i­ly orig­i­nat­ing in Eu­rope, and reg­is­tered with or­ga­ni­za­tions that are char­ac­ter­ized by open stud­book pol­i­cy, stud­book se­lec­tion, and the aim of breed­ing for eques­tri­an sport.
