2. Hire a part-time horse groomer to care for the horses. There currently were only three horses on the force. The horse groomer could be hired for 4 hours a day to come in and groom the three horses.

Additional grooming would need to be done by the police officers, who also would be responsible for identifying health needs. The cost of a part-time horse groomer would be lower, but the officers might be taken away from patrol to groom the horses.
