Mounted Patrol Horses
Flying Changes LLC provides select sales on a limited basis for law enforcement agencies. Horses that do not meet final program criteria for any reason may be offered here for sale to the public, and all information is fully disclosed. Please reach out if you would like information on any horse listed below.
Our program is designed to produce horses suitable for operational use, with an emphasis on soundness, reliability, and consistent performance.
Mounted patrol candidates are carefully evaluated over a long period of time for temperament, physical suitability, and long-term service potential. Training follows a structured, progressive framework focused on controlled responsiveness, environmental exposure, and composure under variable and high-distraction conditions. Each horse is developed individually and without time constraints to ensure appropriate readiness for patrol duties.
Horses made available for sale below represent a small, carefully selected group at varying stages of mounted patrol preparation. We are not a sales barn and take pride in producing a small number of high quality mounted patrol candidates that have been thoroughly tested over time to ensure suitability and reliability. We provide clear documentation and transparent communication at all times.
Flying Changes operates from a private, controlled facility that provides consistent training standards and professional horse management. This setting allows for focused development and dependable preparation for each individual horse.
Availability is limited. Inquiries from law enforcement agencies or private individuals are welcome.
