Officer Ken Mulry would have already retired had it not been for an opportunity to jump in the saddle. Now he’s still enjoying the ride, protecting and serving the Madison community.
After a fledgling start, Madison’s Mounted Unit is now a vital part of the Department: six horses strong, and fully supported by the non-profit “Friends of the Madison Mounted Horst Patrol.”
Riders are improving community relations, finding lost people, and helping manage large crowds. Just don’t try petting a horse at bar time. That’s a big no, no. Officer Mulry explains why as he takes us behind the Mounted Unit badge in this podcast.
