Mounted Branch

Framed Edition

Elegant. Majestic. Imposing.

And occasionally responsible for London’s most generous free garden manure delivery service.

Mounted Branch celebrates the most recognisable unit in the Met. Towering above the crowds, calmly navigating chaos, and quite literally taking policing to another level.

This piece captures both the grandeur and the gentle humour of mounted policing. The commanding presence of the larger than life horse, built like a Victorian steam engine with hooves. And beside it, the slightly more compact partner, proving that courage and character are not measured in hands high.

Look closely and you will see the personality in both animals. The steady veteran who has seen it all. The smaller but determined colleague who might look cuddly but could clear a path through a festival crowd in seconds.

The officers sit high in the saddle, scanning the horizon with that unique mounted confidence. From up there, everything looks different. Better vantage point. Better intelligence. Better ability to spot someone pretending not to drink in public.

And yes, there is the small, unavoidable by product of equine policing. The eco friendly contribution to London’s pavements. A rolling reminder that horsepower is not metaphorical.

This framed edition celebrates the spectacle and the practicality. The ceremonial parades. The crowd control lines. The quiet patrols through parks at dusk. The public who always want a photo. The children who stare in awe. The adults who secretly want to ask if they can sit on it.

Mounted Branch is strength with grace. Authority with calm. And occasionally a reminder to watch where you step.

Perfect for serving mounted officers, horse lovers, retired colleagues, or anyone who has ever looked up and thought, that is proper policing.

Tall in the saddle. Steady on the ground.

And always leaving a lasting impression.
