The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office is asking
the public to help name its newest Mounted
Patrol horse, a 10-year old American Warm
Blood gelding.
The "horse with no name" is 17.2 hands tall;
he was donated by Terry and Darlene Geiser
of Ocala, a news release explains.
Four options are being posted on the agen-
cy's Facebook page, and residents are being
invited to vote for their favorite between
now and the end of March. Possible names
are Colonel, Recruit, Pursuit or Honor, the
release adds.
The "horse with no name" is already patrolling
Siesta Key Beach and other areas of the county
during spring break operations, alongside his
hoofed colleagues Patriot, Major, Liberty,
Legacy, Sentinel, Valor, Justice and Charlie,
the release notes.
The winning selection will be announced
in April.
The Facebook page address is facebook.com/
SarasotaCountySheriff. To go directly to the
