Learn why police officers use horses to navigate crowded places and how their height helps them see better!
Okay, imagine you are at a big busy fair with lots of people all over the place. There are so many people that cars can't go where you want to go. That's where horses come in!
Horses are like big, strong friends that can move through crowds easily. While a car might get stuck in traffic or in a small area, a horse can walk between people and get to places that cars can't. This is why police officers sometimes ride horses when they need to help keep everyone safe in festivals or busy parks.
Also, horses are tall! That means when the police officer is sitting on the horse, they can see over the tops of all the people. It's like being on a tall tower! So, if there's something happening far away, like someone needing help or something important to see, the officer on the horse can notice it more easily than if they were just standing on the ground.
So, horses help police officers go to crowded places where cars can't fit, and their height helps officers keep an eye on everything around them!
