Mounted Police, commonly known as Mounties, are an iconic symbol of Canada and North America. With their distinctive red serge uniforms and Stetson hats, they represent law enforcement in a unique way. Dating back to the 19th century, these mounted officers have played a crucial role in maintaining order and protecting communities. In 1957, during the Grand National race, Sundew emerged victorious with a skilled jockey atop. This thrilling event captivated spectators from all walks of life, showcasing the power and grace of both horse and rider. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic Ocean in East London's Hertford district, a massive crowd gathered eagerly to hear Oswald Mosley speak at a rally. Amongst them stood mounted police officers who ensured safety amidst political tensions. History reveals instances where they were called upon to maintain order during protests. In Hyde Park in 1932-1933, baton-charging marchers took place during Means Test protests. These brave officers faced challenging situations head-on while upholding peace. Looking further into history's lens brings us to significant moments captured through woodcuts or black-and-white photographs. The execution of 1894 reminds us that even then, mounted police played an essential role in enforcing justice. The lithograph depicting Mounted Police charging the Mob during riots in Brussels showcases their unwavering dedication towards public safety beyond borders. Similarly, an oil painting portraying the Parade of Hamburg Burgermilitars highlights how this concept transcends time and geography. Closer to home is Brooklyn's Police Parade captured on silver gelatin print back in 1897 - proof that even within bustling cities like New York City lies a need for these equestrian guardians of law and order. Across continents yet again stands Trafalgar Square engraving depicting Defence against Riots on Sunday, November 13th - reminding us that sometimes it takes mounted police units' presence to protect cherished landmarks from chaos.
