Thursday 15th January - The Role of the Police Horse - Dave Hardcastle

A fascinating new presentation about the role of the Police Horse from the Victorian Era through to the 21st Century.

In David’s words,

“I am pleased to introduce a new presentation with another fine collection of police horse related exhibits which as always, will be passed around the audience to examine and experience for themselves. In addition the talk will include historic connections with individuals in the mounted section in Bradford and one particular horse of note which was in service with West Yorkshire Police in the 1980's. These exhibits date from the Victorian era, through both world wars, and into the 21st century. This is a travelling police museum not just about visual displays, as the audience can touch and handle these vintage items for a more immersive experience.”
