From the paddock to the parade ground, Toni and Beaufort’s story has come full circle 💙
Growing up in southern NSW, Probationary Constable Toni was passionate about horses and spent years riding, training and breaking them in. One of the horses she worked with was Beaufort, who she broke in and trained before their paths went in different directions.
Beaufort ended up joining the Mounted Unit in 2023 and, now 11 years old, has spent the past three years as a police horse. Toni, meanwhile, pursued her own dream of becoming a police officer.
So when Toni attested from the NSW Police Force Academy, it was only fitting that Troop Horse Beaufort was there too. The horse she had once trained was now standing beside her in his own police role, as Toni celebrated beginning hers.
From working together in the paddock to meeting again at one of the biggest milestones in Toni’s life, it’s a reminder that you never know where hard work and passion will take you 🐴👮♀️
