2024 Horse with Long White Mane – Horses
• One of five stamps issued to honor the many jobs horses have done for us over the years and their continued importance to society
Stamp Category: Commemorative
Set: Horses
Value: 68¢ First Class Mail Rate (Forever)
First Day of Issue: June 17, 2024

Why the stamp was issued: To commemorate America’s longtime use of horses to help us in fields such as law enforcement, forestry, entertainment, therapy, ranching, and more.
About the stamp design: Pictures a photograph of a palamino colored horse with a long white mane.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the Patee House Museum in St. Joseph, Missouri, before the start of the 164th Pony Express Re-Ride event (a 1,966-mile trek from St. Joseph to Sacramento, California).
About the Horses set: Includes five designs picturing photographs of different horses in profile by Stephanie Moon and Karen Wegehenkel.
History the stamp represents: It takes a special kind of horse to serve as a mount for the men and women who keep us safe. Police work requires an animal that can stay calm and collected in any situation, no matter how loud or dangerous. There is no one breed favored over another, but larger horses are generally preferred as they are more easily seen and respected by pedestrians and drivers alike.
Mounted police are most commonly seen when regular vehicles are not practical. For example, in large cities where traffic can be too congested to allow for quick travel, patrolling parks and wilderness areas, or even in search-and-rescue missions.
To become a police mount, a horse must go through a rigorous training process. This includes learning special maneuvers, becoming desensitized to loud noises and strange sights, and strength and conditioning to allow them to patrol for long periods of time. Horses may be dismissed at any point during training if they are deemed unsuitable. Of course, officers go through just as much training to ensure a good match between horse and rider.
Police horses are exceptional animals with a high level of training and experience. This means, when they retire, they can still go on to have successful careers in other riding disciplines. It’s no wonder the wait lists to adopt former police horses are so long!
