The Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office has a secret weapon to help solve mysteries and fight crime horses. The Mounted Unit, also known as the Mounted Posse, is a group of 13 civilian volunteers who have trained their personal horses to aid the sheriff’s department in search and rescue missions.

My comfort levels, what I m comfortable with, kind of goes to the wayside, and I do whatever I think the kids want.
