So retired HPD, I trim horses. 472 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 9: Learned how to trim horses while I was in the 473 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 9: Mountain unit at HPD. I was selected as one of 474 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 9: the first twelve officers in nineteen eighty four when Chief 475 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 9: Brown started a full time unit. I never had any 476 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 9: horse experience, and I stayed until I retired in twenty seventeen. 477 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 9: I did a deep dive or doge in the late nineties, 478 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 9: using our paper filing system to track the sickness and 479 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 9: lameness issues with our police horses. What I found was 480 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 9: a flawed, very expensive system in the care of our horses. 481 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 9: We decided to start working our horses barefoot. Metal shoes 482 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 9: are very unhealthy, especially for working police horses. The city 483 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,959 Speaker 9: decided to send me to learn how to trim horses hoofs. 484 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 9: We started with one horse and now all forty are barefoot. 485 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,199 Speaker 9: Much more to the story with a system fighting us 486 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 9: all the time, but the receipts we had and now 487 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 9: having the best unit in the world made it worthwhile. 488 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 9: I still trim horse hoofs every day. How about that, Ramon, 489 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 9: that's a good story. 490 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 4: Right there. 491 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 6: We had. 492 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 9: A person pull over at that woman's I forget her name, 493 00:25:55,640 --> 00:26:00,360 Speaker 9: at her produce stand just a minute ago and take 494 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 9: a photo right there at what was it exit eight eighteen? 495 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,479 Speaker 9: Do you remember what the exit was from?
