"Border Patrol agents become new horse patrol unit" (KOLD-TV Benson, AZ, 5/18/11)
U.S. Border Patrol agents completed a two-weeks course "which prepared them to ... train other agents for Horse Patrol duties. The daily training consisted of 10-12 hours of overall horsemanship consisting of classroom work, learning about horse anatomy and riding techniques ... Three of the six horses ridden by the graduating students came from the Border Patrol's Noble Mustang Project" which adopts horses from the BLM. "The horses, ranging in age from 3-5 years, are highly trained and well suited for patrolling in harsh border environments."
