The Cape May County Sheriff always gets his man, and, it turns out, he always gets his horse, too.
In January, the Sheriff s department posted on its Facebook page that it was looking for a horse for mounted police work, but with some very specific requirements. The horse they were looking for on a 60-day trial basis was a gelding, with a minimum height of 16HH, 8-16-years old.
Well, it turns out you can look a gift horse in the mouth after all, because the Sheriff s department has officially welcomed their newest sheriff-in-training, Mount Speck.
This week on the Cape May County Sheriff s Facebook page, Sheriff Robert Nolan welcomed Mount Speck as the agency’s newest equine officer.
