West Midlands Police has revived its mounted unit with five horses, marking the first time since 1999.
West Midlands Police has revived its mounted unit for the first time since 1999, deploying five police horses—Belgravia, Bruce, Yonkers, Yve, and Yvonne—alongside officers and sergeants starting December 1, 2025.
The unit, part of a year-long planning effort led by Assistant Chief Constable Mike O’Hara and supported by World Horse Welfare, aims to boost community engagement, improve visibility, and manage crowds at events like football matches.
The force plans to expand to 12 horses and 14 officers, with efforts to generate income through loans to other forces and sponsorships.
Public safety guidelines emphasize approaching horses only from the front or side, keeping dogs on a lead, and avoiding loud noises or sudden movements.
