Like New York, the mounted police patrols the upscale neighborhood of Back Bay and the Common. This Boston ranger group was established in 1982. Their main duty is security, but they also participate in parades and official funerals.

super d'etre flic a cheval!
je pense a cheval,pas d'etre flic
I totally agree with you anymous. It's quite a neat way to go around the city that way, doing its job at the same time. I like the idea to see "un flic" on a horse: he looks a bit more friendly, don't you think?
Thanks a bundle Alex for this picture. I trully love horses and it's stunning to see them right in the center of a city.
D~
Excellent shot Alex. I hope you were watching where you were walking while taking this photo!
I bet that cop really enjoyed his job - being able to be outside on a horseback on such a beautiful day...
It's actually interesting to note that Police on horses still exists in many countries nowadays. We have them in Paris sometimes riding in the middle of town.
This is a great photo. Love the big brown horse - he looks so placid!
Michael> Thanks for your warm thoughts. Luckily this horse was moving at a regular gait ;-)
Nicola> as a matter of fact, he didn't look that happy! Maybe because I was in his way...
Eric> Really? I thought it was only for movies shots! Well, I'll pay more attention next time I come...
Sam> Yes indeed, very placid. I'd have loved to ask the policeman to get a ride too ;-)
