This film documents some police mounted unit training, which involves basic horseback riding manoeuvres. The film opens with an officer on horseback as he the guides the horse sideways in several shots. The officer then dismounts and remounts again, practicing this manoeuvre several times. Two officers on horseback then trot past the camera in unison, and again this is repeated several times. In slow motion, the officers on horseback then gallop towards a jump before vaulting the poles, which are set relatively low. The officers then repeat the exercise - jumping in unison. The next sequence begins in a football field with officers on white horses trotting past the camera, and each officer has a sword dangling from their harnesses. In the next shot the horses again trot past the camera before forming a tight line. The filmmaker then gets a close up of the horse from several different angles showing its mane of hair and tail, which an officer then lifts up. Several officers then practice moving the horses sideways in a steady line, before the filmmaker gets close up of the horses footwork. The officers then practice moving backwards on the horse, and one shot shows a horse putting up a struggle. The mounted officers then line up and move back in unison, before various shots capture the officers on horseback moving across the field at different speeds. Officers then practice a 360 degree maneuverer on horseback, before there are many shots of the mounted officers performing sharp turns. A close up then shows an officer showing the correct way to hold the reigns, followed by how to use a stirrup properly. Horses then charge past the camera and gallop away. The officers then practice more 36o manoeuvres, followed by mounting and dismounting exercises and sideways stepping. The final passage captures a show jumping exercise.
