A group of horse men in desert to make peace


The article below talks about the desert horsemen who look for criminals and trouble makers in al AWAFI desert in RAK.  They are unarmed and it’s their job to protect and bring peace.

A Group of horse men in the desert ride to make peace. Over the entire UAE there are unarmed horse patrol divisions to monitor the desert. The horsemen are searching for signs of trouble in the desert. The horses were trained not to be frightened by the people who bother them. The typical horsemen are small and lightweight, and often patrol on Arabian horses. Over 70% of the horsemen are from India and there are no Emirati horsemen except Colonel. Over the year they patrol through the year except hot weather and the school break. Police challenge criminals with the horsemen help. The horse patrol performs an important duty going where only horses can go The horses are well cared for and protected by the horsemen.    
People usually underestimate the importance of the role these horse patrols practice and most of those horses are from India which means they should bring more local horsemen riders.
