TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Officials have figured out what to do with horses from the Tulsa Police Department's mounted patrol unit, which has been eliminated because of budget cuts.
Mayor Kathy Taylor said Thursday the horses will go to nonprofit equestrian programs, thanks to a donation from the Hillcrest Foundation to the Tulsa Community Foundation.
Officials say each of the eight horses will be appraised next week and will be sold at fair-market value to the Tulsa Community Foundation, which will send them out to non-profit organizations such as the Tulsa Boys Home.
The foundation will be accepting donations to help the non-profits receiving a horse with ongoing care costs.
