While the M in RCMP stands for “Mounted,” police in Trail were not required to use any equestrian skills responding to a call last week.
They say they were called Friday afternoon about several horses impeding traffic on Highway 3B near Warfield.
An officer was going to wrangle them, but they had already galloped away.
“The officer discovered that Warfield is not a one-horse town,” quipped Sgt. Mike Wicentowich.
