The Pharr Police Department is adding horses to their fleet.
Four Pharr Police officers will be patrolling on horseback after completing a four week training hosted by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The officers are the first to be nationally horse patrol certified since the department was created in the early 1900 s.
City of Pharr Mayor Dr. Ambrosio Hernandez said the historic moment has been in the making for two years.
Hernandez said the goal is for the public to engage with law enforcement.
