The NAPEC Returns to Maryland, continued...
Competitors had six minutes to complete the course with two minutes being devoted to the last obstacle, which required the offi cer to pick up a traffi c barrel (complete with bells in- side) and weave one-handed through a maze. Once through the maze, the traffi c barrel was placed on a base that had a jiggling dog toy with an attached tail. T is last part caused a parting of ways for three horse and rider teams. T e Occupy Tent City was the most
troublesome for Ofc. Megan Lau (MNCPP-MC) and Tonka, a seven- year-old Percheron/Morgan cross. “He is not a fan of low moving things.

"I switched to Farmers Cooperative Equine feed about 3 years ago when my partner Brooke Vrany and I started our Boarding and Training business at The Sevens Ranch here in Frederick,
MD.DMD. We have been extremely pleased with the consistency and mix ofof

our feeds. We are especially amazed with the “ High Fat- Low Carb “ as it is the perfect feed for some of the harder keepers that come in for my very physically demanding training programs. I fi nd that it is a great blend for maintaining weight without giving the horse the jitters of a sugar rush through too many carbs.

T is year’s winner, Trooper, from the Toronto Police Service, will have his likeness captured as a Breyer model. Pat Berkley, COB of NAPEC, said, “T is new Breyer model will not only bring signifi cant attention to an extraordinary law enforcement equine partner, but the visibil- ity and reach of the Breyer model and their retail partners will create a spotlight on the
important role and service that mounted units provide.” T e 30th Anniversary of the North Ameri-
can Police Equestrian Championships will take place next September.
