Bring your family out for our FREE Back the Blue event. What a great way to start the new year by meeting mounted patrol officers from across the state.

An expo and demonstration of the mounted patrol unit will be held at Majestic Oaks Ocala equestrian facility on January 2, 2023.

In addition to meeting officers from across the state, you can watch as they do their fantastic drill formation riding. Also, you can have your and or your family’s picture taken with the mounted unit horses. What a great photo for your children to take back to school from their Christmas break adventures.

What is the XTA Mounted Patrol Academy

XTA Mounted Patrol Academy was born from a collaboration of three top Florida-based equine professionals, X-treme Horsemanship, Tailwind Trails, and Ackerly Equestrian. They came together as guests at the South Florida Fair in May of 2021 for a Mounted Police Clinic. This was unlike any done before in the area. Under the lights of the Farris wheel, an idea was born.

With overwhelming feedback from the participants and several roundtable discussions with industry leaders, it became evident this was needed. Discussions addressing the training gaps, lack of standardization, and missions-specific challenges in Mounted Patrol Training found throughout the mounted law enforcement community. XTA Mounted Patrol Academy has been developed in response to those training shortcomings.

Our unique partnership with Keiser University, which spans both their Equine Science Department and their Criminal Justice Department, makes this program unlike any other in preparing and equipping Mounted Patrol Officers and their equine partners to operate safely and effectively in a challenging environment. We are simply put, the most comprehensive, missions-specific, standardized Mounted Patrol Training available in the private sector.
