An experienced trainer of the New York Police Department demonstrates at the New York Remount Station how carefully selected horses are trained for the varied and complex duties of the mounted division of the New York Police Department. Having been accepted by the Department's veterinarian the horses are put through a course of methodical training and discipline. Methods for teaching prompt obedience, cooperation with other police horses, how to step over obstacles, how to move in traffic, and how to handle a crowd are shown as part of the training.
