Troopers and Tack

Troopers and Tack are terms used in equestrian settings. Troopers typically refer to mounted law enforcement officers or personnel who patrol on horseback, providing visibility and access to areas difficult for vehicles. Tack, short for "tack equipment," refers to the gear used on horses—including saddles, bridles, reins, and bits—that allows control, comfort, and safety during riding or work. Proper tack is essential for the horse’s well-being and effective handling, while troopers utilize their mounted presence for patrols, crowd control, and community engagement.
