The unit was disbanded as part of cost-cutting measures and the horses, as well as their tack and other equipment, are being sold on Publicsurplus.com.
The unit began operating in 1983. Its officers have been assigned to other duties.
Potential bidders were able to see the horses on February 4 at the police stables. No riding or handling was permitted.
