Dakota is on a mission in this episode, she searches NYC looking for one thing… horses, of course! Will she find any horses in the Big Apple? She travels to Rockefeller Center, Trinity Church, the Statue of Liberty and more. I couldn’t believe I spotted some spurs on a mounted police officercompletely bypassing the three trailers of horses to my left. I was completely awe struck at the NYPD Mounted officers I met, their extensive training, their impressive horse control, and their passion for horses. Horses in the big city…sure!
So many amazing places to visit in NYC
I can’t believe the amount of training needed for those horses to operate in one of the busiest cities in the world. With cars, honking, crowds, and steam vents in the street, it is amazing how these horses not only get around but actually serve and protect each day with the mounted police officers. Cheers to Officer Rob for sharing his hat, his trailer and horses with me and for being one of the coolest police officers ever.
Thanks for the mounted police patch.

Rockefeller Center, Statue of Liberty, visit site of National Treasure, be a tourist in New York, Trinity Church, ground zero
