Join us for a talk from Alan Hiscox at Diamond.
Tails of a mounted police officer- from riots and trooping the colour to Goodwood and the highway code.
Alan Hiscox retired as the Chief Equitation Officer in the Metropolitan Mounted Police. He spent 32 years in the Police, 26 of them in the Mounted Branch.
He has taken clinics and seminars to teach Mounted Police training and tactics to Police Units in Europe, USA, Canada and South Africa. He was the Ride Leader of the Police Display Ride for 14 years, performing at Olympia, Horse of the Year Show and abroad.
Taking part in ceremonial events, serious public disorder events and many football matches, Alan will explain the passion, professionalism and sometimes pantomime that he has experienced whilst on a police horse in London. He will also let you know how police horses are trained and the amazing job that these incredible animals do, every day.
Alan is now the Director of Safety at the British Horse Society and heads up the ‘Dead Slow’ safety campaign.
