Summary

Description Mounted police officers on standby at a peaceful demonstration at Hazelwood Power Station, Victoria. Note the facial armour that the horses are equipped with. This protects the animals from any indirect projectiles or attempted assaults to the face. The horses are also equipped with rubber horseshoes (yellow), and protective sport boots with reflective tape to aid visibility. The officers are wearing high visibility rain coats, as well as riot protection helmets to protect against both accidentally falling off or melee weapons and thrown projectiles.
