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.

Bentley is a stunning 16.3hh, 8 year old gelding with a gentle and calm disposition. He is currently in training and is demonstrating a reliability under saddle and willingness to learn. He is not reactive to sights and sounds that he has been exposed to at this time, including tarps, bridges, flags, gunfire or vehicles. He has been ridden through dense woods, around machinery and near traffic and has not been phased. In the arena, he is solid walk/trot and learning to canter. He is responsive to leg, seat and voice aids and learning to side pass, turn on the forehand and leg yield.
He has excellent ground manners, and reliably ground ties on voice command. He self loads in a straight load trailer. Bentley quietly stands for the farrier and is currently barefoot with hard, strong feet.
He is sound with no blemishes, has no physical limitations, solid feet, excellent bone and correct conformation. He has no vices. He is easy for anyone to handle in and out of the barn. He has only had two owners and has been well cared for throughout his life.
