D.C.-area officers ride high at equestrian event

Police officers from the Washington area took home a number of awards from the recent 2012 North American Police Equestrian Championships, including Officer Megan Lau, of the Maryland-National Capital Park Police, or M-NCPPC, who finished as grand champion in expert equitation.

“It was very rewarding because on this horse I’ve done all the work with him myself,” Lau said. “He was not very experienced, much less at being a police horse. It was a very rewarding feeling knowing you’re doing something right.”
