The horses of the Shiawassee County Sheriff's Mounted Posse are involved in rigorous training throughout the year. They spend a weekend in Kalamazoo with their riders learning how to handle "spooky" situations, and also have weekly training sessions.

Name: "Justus"
Age: 15 Years Old

Dislikes: Dogs that get more attention than he does...
Other Activities: Justus likes to go for relaxing trail rides.
