Where do they keep the horses in NYC that the cops ride around on? Do they haul them in and out of the city every morning and every night from like NJ or somewhere? When do they eat and where? Are there stalls for them at the police station or something? This is a serious question, I really am curious. : )

The Mounted Unit has stables in a few locations within the city. Unit headquarters and the stable for Troop B are at the newest facility located at Pier 76, roughly at 36th street on the West Side of Manhattan.The city s press release announcing the opening of that facility in 2007 is here:http://nyc.gov/portal/site/nycgov/menuit��Other Mounted Unit troops are stationed at Pelham Bay Park, Fresh Meadows, Coney Island, and at the 1st Precinct in Lower Manhattan.
