Knoxville, TN (WOKI) The Knoxville Police Department welcomes three new horses to its Mounted Patrol Unit, but they need your help choosing their forever names!
KPD says the three draft horses, which arrived in late July, are already in training. They were purchased by the Downtown Knoxville Alliance to expand KPD’s Mounted Patrol Unit and increase its presence in the Downtown and Old City areas and at special events.
The new horses include:
– A black four-year-old Morgan/Percheron cross
– A black and white five-year-old Quarter Horse/Belgian-Percheron cross
– A black six-year-old Quarter Horse/Percheron cross
Now, the Alliance and KPD are inviting the community to help name the new horses. Submissions are being accepted through Friday, September 5 at www.downtownknoxville.org/horses.
Community members who submit the winning names will receive a prize pack, compliments of Downtown Knoxville Alliance and KPD.
