After six weeks of fundraising efforts, the Wichita Police Foundation exceeded their initial goal and purchased two Clydesdales, two saddles, and needed tack for the WPD Mounted Unit. “With two police horses retiring and now two new police horses in training, the Mounted Unit will continue operating at full capacity,” said Becca Boldra, WPF Executive Director. “Purchasing two Clydesdales and additional tack is a dream come true and was possible only as a result of the incredible support of our community. Businesses, groups, and individuals rallied beside us with a common goal of keeping Wichita safe and secure.” The new Clydesdales have started training with the Mounted Unit, and will make their public debut on Wednesday, Aug. 7 at the WPF Horse for Heroes Homecoming. Join WPF at the Old Town Farmers’ Market at 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 7 to find out the names of WPD’s newest police horses. With the addition of the 4-year-old black Clydesdale gelding and 2-year-old black roan Clydesdale gelding, the Mounted Unit will have eight horses serving the city.
