The Horsemen in UAE

In the UAE a group of the horsemen start making their way quietly at sunset through the sand dune up along narrow paths hear settlements in search of trouble makers . Each emirate has a horse partol division to monitor areas outside cities that are hard to reach by car . They are hot armed but they have mobile phones and walkies talkies  The horsemen do their rounds quietly , Unobtrusive and silent ;some times they get taunted by drivers of noisy buggies who keep wanting to frighten the horses . They take a break when it's summer because people rarely go camping  in the desert. To avoid tiring out the horses , the animals are transported from their stables in Al Salihya to the furthest point that a car can go .
