PARK CITY, Utah — On Wednesday afternoon, three members of the Summit County Sheriff’s mounted posse were conducting a training exercise on Highland Dr. 

Sergeant Jeremy Forman told me, “We have the mounted patrols so we can go out into the neighborhoods, be visible, and talk to people. One of our goals is saving lives via Search and Rescue and a second goal is that the horses can really break down barriers between the police and the public. It gives us an opportunity to familiarize ourselves with areas of town where there might be vehicle burglaries or similar situations and it’s just another form of police presence to deter any such activity.”

I've lived in Park City for 30 years but right off the starting line, my journalism professors expressed plaudits after class for writing more so about the small-town sports in the surrounding mountains than the urban updates they assigned. Therefore, I’m on par punning and penning Parkites' pastimes. Turning high and early through my career, I’ve worked communications for The Olympics, the Paralympics and the Special Olympics. Additionally, there's been National Geographic, Patagonia, NCAA, USA Nordic and the United States Library of Congress, so I guess you could say this ain't my first rodeo.
