Help stop the closure of Stara Zagora Mounted Horse Police division , Bulgaria

Bulgarian officials are trying to shut down the Horse Mounted Police in Stara Zagora. Approximately 40 horses ( fit police riding horses, brood mares and foals) are going to be sold and a Riding school with traditions in the equestrian sports- destroyed!...We all know the horrendous situation that exists within Bulgaria regarding animal cruelty PLEASE join me and make sure these horses and their devoted staff DO NOT end up another sad and tragic story , to add to the list !! 
WHO KNOWS IF SOLD , WHERE THESE NOBLE , KIND , BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS , WILL END UP !!! 15 devoted police- riders are going to loose the job they love the most- work with horses ! The Horse Mounted Police of Stara Zagora exists since 1999. There are only Sofia and Stara Zagora's Horse Police units still functioning in Bulgaria. Large stables and roomy paddocks, located in a beautiful countryside are home for the police horses of Stara Zagora. The facility has also a large outdoor and indoor riding arenas. The whole region of Stara Zagora is well known as an old traditional equestrian sport centre, providing riding lessons for beginners, giving the opportunity of young talented riders for national and international level competitions (generally classical disciplines as show jumping, dressage, cross country). The sport activities were limited during the last few years, because of the more responsible Police work. The horses there are trained by devoted riders and trainers- all of them passionate horse -lovers! Despite all the difficulties, lack of money, no support from the government... these people keep preparing young horses for the police needs, bringing them to the level of a well trained, responsive and secure Police Horse. Unfortunately very few people in Bulgaria know how long is this process and how difficult it is to develope a wild 2,5 year old colt/filly into a strong, calm, fearless warrior- horse, which is going to participate in clashes, block a crowd of mad people, even with the risk to be injured! To build the team between this truly nobel, but wild animal and the rider takes a lot of time and needs patience, experienced work and passion!And how someone can destroy the Horse Police of Stara Zagora after all these years of hard work and devotion?! How we can let this happen?Please, support us!
