In March, the public was asked to choose one of four possible options listed in a sur vey posted on the agency's Facebook page: Colonel, Recruit, Pursuit or Honor, a news release explains. "Honor was the clear favor ite with 53 percent of the vote," it adds. Several other names were suggested by the nearly 5,000 people who participated, it notes; those will be considered for future horses.

"Honor will stand beside hoofed colleagues Patriot, Major, Liberty, Legacy, Sentinel, Valor, Justice — and yes, Charlie — as they patrol Sarasota County to keep all citizens safe," the release adds. % MOUNTED PATROL'S NEWEST HORSE GETS A NAME Honor is the newest member of the Sheriff's Office's Mounted Patrol.
