Follow the Equestrian Nose. I met the equestrians in the parking lot near Poppitz Field at Lions Park where they had trailered their horses and saddled up to patrol Victoria. First they sauntered south toward the Victoria Recreation Center and then bridled north along Victoria Drive, carefully crossing the downtown Victoria intersection as the lights turned green. They stopped to visit kids and families as they progressed through the village. Swifty is a painted horse that belongs to Officer Terry Kaiser, a rider with an accent that easily betrays her deep southern roots. “Y’all have it very nice up here in Minnesota. It’s been a nice summer.” Her husband’s job called them north; they now live in Chaska. Cowboy is a white stallion that belongs to Officer Emily Boote of Chaska. “They are our own horses and there is no cost to the taxpayer for this service. We’re called to be a presence in the area and today we got to do Victoria.” The officers and their horses are members of the Carver County Sheriff’s Mounted Posse. The Posse is a volunteer organization that assists the Sheriff’s Office with security and crowd control, search and rescue operations, community relations and outreach activities, as well as special missions as assigned. New members are always welcome. It is required that members have a horse and a means to transport it. In addition to monthly meetings, members and their horses are required to participate in several training programs throughout the year. A Carver County residence is not required in order to become a member of the Carver County Sheriff’s Mounted Posse. Those interested are welcome to attend the Posse’s monthly meetings. For additional information, contact the Sheriff’s Office at 952-361-1212. Sue Orsen The Victoria Gazette Victoria, Minnesota
