Because she came back as a new member she can only post once per day.

Cindy can hardly be surprised at the response though and I'd not have thought it worthy of comment. There's always a range but in this case there is indeed a track record of buying a new fantastic horse which in reality needs a n heck of a lot of bringing on and is not likely to be suitable and then the drama unfolds and members get to say "I told you so"

And because it's been a pattern then it's pretty darned obvious that some will adopt the "here we go again / colour me sceptical"
position.

I don't know how old this new horse is and all I do know is it's more of a driving horse. Now I actually don't even know what that. means and I've got a mass of driving horses!

The photo isn't great but I look at that and am not seeing MP horse. But then we established long ago that mounted police in Cindyland is polar different to anything I'd ever expect.   Here they're always owned by the Police and trained by specialist trainers who work with the police and they're ridden by highly trained police officers wearing the right equipment.      Here you can never buy a police horse.   You might be able to buy a retired one or one that didn't either totally complete it's training or be able to be in active service.  But they retire and leave for a reason and it's NEVER to be bought to do it again.      Here police horses are always big and they start entry into their police career as rock solid riding horses that have been trained to within an inch of their lives to be dependable and steady and to do what is asked for them.   .   It takes about 2 years additional training within the force AFTER they've proven the aforementioned  and they're trained and desensitised to within an inch of their lives.    ONLY then do they get to do anything in public and after that they get refresher training each and every week with their assigned police officer rider.

I'm not reading or seeing "police horse".   I'm merely reading that Cindy's bought another horse.  I'm wondering what's going to be different.

No doubt as posting restriction is lifted the story will unfold and time will tell.

Though personally I don't get buying a horse at all when you're about to have a hip replacement. But whatever will be will be.
