There are no cooler animals on this planet than police horses and, up until December, San Diego had seven of the prized and highly trained members of the police department on duty. Not any more.
San Diego’s mounted horse unit founded in 1983 cost San Diego $243,000 annually and as a result have met the budget cutting axe. They are being auctioned off and its estimated that the nine horses will bring approximately $1,500 each. Also at auction will be the saddle blankets, pads, heaters, and other items.
These are great animals in great shape and accustomed to crowds, traffic and loud noises such as, surprisingly enough, gunshots. In many respects these horses have been celebrities as they have often faced lines of people wanting to pet them or have their pictures taken with them. Several law enforcement agencies in the southwest, and one from Canada, are interested in the horses as are some San Diego police officers.
Hence, our offer. If you live out in the hinterlands someplace and are coming to San Diego to put in a bid on one of these wonderful animals, Air2Air will fly you here at half price. If we could fit the horses in our planes we would fly them instead, but we can’t so we are making the offer to bidders instead. Our offer is good for any round trip you schedule to and from any airport within 500 miles of San Diego to Carlsbad-Palomar airport. And only to the first one to call and take us up on the offer. You don’t have to win one of the horses, you just have to prove that you put in a bid for at least $1,000 on one of the horses. Call us at 760-603-6774.
