A Day In Training - Barrington Hills Police
Horse Safety
September 29th, 2007
by Linda Gordon
When a horse breaks through a fence, who ya gonna call? Of course you can always call on HARPS, but often times the Barrington Hills Police Department is called in to save the day. HARPS hosted a clinic for the B.H. police department, to learn about catching, leading, safety around horses, and use of equipment. We all had a fun informative day with two sessions, morning and afternoon. The officers were taught the correct way to approach a horse, body language, proper use of tools and most importantly, how to be safe around a 1200 pound animal running at large. All of the officers did a great job, and we applaud their efforts and enthusiasm. HARPS would like to extend a special thanks to all of the officers in Barrington Hills for everything they do for our community. Stay Safe!
