Horses on the Mall
By Linda Tancs
Located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., the U.S. Park Police Horse Stables and Education Center provides visitors with information on the history of the Mounted Unit, one of the oldest and most beloved equestrian units in the country. Open Thursday through Sunday, the schedule of the horses will vary based on patrol times, rest times and meal times. The four-legged patrol will be viewable through special windows in the center as well as in the paddocks. The two-legged patrol, the U.S. Park Police, was created by President George Washington in 1791 and functions as a unit of the National Park Service with jurisdiction in all federal parks.
