The day is 10th Oct. I went to shopping with my friends in Manchester. And saw a spectacular sight that called 'The mounted police'.
Because the mounted police function is to stop the riots and control crowd. And the mounted police is very tall, they were able to detect the potential confrontation and chaos in the population. They can immediately to control the crowd. It is said that, deal with riot crowd, a mounted police top of more than 10 general policemen.

I think this should be the protection of horses' feet. When horses kneel to the ground, it can reduce pain and will not let feet injuried too much.

This is 'the mounted police'. He was dressed in police uniforms and sat on horseback, it lets me feel that all the mounted police are very awe-inspiring.

The height of the horse is from horse's shoulder.
Europe and the United States is said that ' hand width'（it is about four inches). Britain's horses are picked about 17-18'hand width'. It is also means that the height of the horse is 1.8 meters.
The benefit of the high height is let the mounted police much easier to draw people's attention, then can carry out the patrols. And it can be able to make offenders feel frightened.
