Supporting Act
THE METROPOLITAN POLICE ACTIVITY RIDE
We are delighted to announce the Metropolitan Police will be supporting the Spanish Riding School performances with their thrilling mounted display including spectacular leaps through hoops of fire!
The Metropolitan Police Activity Ride appears by kind permission of the Commissioner of The Metropolitan Police Sir Ian Blair. It is led by Inspector Alan Hiscox, the Training Inspector and provides a fast moving display demonstrating a high level of skill and agility from both the horses and the officers. Inch perfect timing, total commitment, professionalism and complete trust are required for this ride and it will show everybody the abilities of a working police horse.
All the horses will return to duty after the show where they will help keep London safe. They patrol in all the London boroughs, manage large crowds at football matches or demonstrations, and provide security to Central London events.
