The RCMP and the Dallas Police Department Mounted Unit have had a working relationship for several decades now. A  Dressage Clinic was put on for the mounted officers. For those who don’t know, Dressage is a style of riding that Sgt. Godue and Corporal Head instruct on. Both Sgt. Godue and Corporal Head are members of the Musical Ride.

For information on the The Musical Ride, visit their website. IMG_0593
