As I was riding my bike last night through Woodbridge, I happened upon a very heartening sight. A policeman on horseback was patrolling the neighborhood. I rode along side him and asked him if this was going to be a regular beat, and he said it was the first night that mounted police were patrolling Woodbridge, but they had been patrolling various neighborhoods since the fireworks. It was nice to be able to go up to a cop and talk with him, something that doesn't happen when the police are patrolling in their cruisers. Neighborhood children were excited to see the horse and ran along side it down the street. Has anyone else noticed mounted police in your neighborhood?
