Tie-dye for Horses
Patrol Unit.
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Tie-dye T-shirts are being locally sold to benefit the Saratoga Springs Police Department’s Mounted Patrol Unit.
Mounted Police Unit consist of two horses: Apollo, and Brady. The horses are typically visible along city streets eight or nine months of the year and skipping the colder winter season. Seven officers are trained to ride the horses.
Funds raised by the sale of the T-shirts help pay for things like the boarding, feeding, maintenance and medical care of the horses.
The shirts, which sell for $25, were created by Protect & Vest NYK9s and are available in Saratoga Springs at Celtic Treasures (456 Broadway), and at Impressions of Saratoga (368 Broadway).
