Two local horses that were purchased from Windy Coulee Canadian Horses, which is located northeast of Pincher Creek, were recently renamed Rio and Ranger after a month-long public poll. "I am impressed with the Calgary City Police Mounted Unit's initiative," said Heidi Eijgel of Windy Coulee Canadian Horses. "By including the community in naming of the horses, I think folks will gain 'ownership' of the horse program in their city. The horses still have the original formal registered names, and now they will have practical and very well selected everyday names! Way to go Rio and Ranger!
