US Border Patrol Horse Patrol Unit Large 3x5 inch Patch — United States Border Patrol Horse Patrol Unit Embroidered Patch
Horse Patrol — the Border Patrol's mounted tradition on the frontier.
The United States Border Patrol Horse Patrol Unit (HPU) is one of the most distinctive and iconic elements of the nation's border security apparatus. Horse Patrol agents operate on horseback in rugged, remote terrain where vehicles and even ATVs cannot effectively navigate — mountainous trails, dense brush, river bottoms, and desert terrain that has been crossed by smugglers and illegal border crossers for centuries. The Horse Patrol continues a mounted law enforcement tradition that stretches back to the earliest days of border security in the American West.
Horse Patrol agents are highly skilled equestrians who combine modern law enforcement training with horsemanship that allows them to cover terrain inaccessible to other patrol methods. Operating along the southern and northern borders, HPU agents track footprints, patrol remote trails, and provide a visible deterrent in areas where the border is most vulnerable. The Horse Patrol Unit represents the intersection of Old West tradition and modern federal law enforcement, and this large 3x5 inch patch provides a prominent display of that unique identity.
Perfect For: Border Patrol Horse Patrol Unit agents past and present, CBP personnel, mounted law enforcement enthusiasts, federal border security supporters, equestrian military and law enforcement fans, and large-format patch collectors who appreciate the Horse Patrol's frontier heritage.
Horse Patrol rides the line — Border Patrol mounted tradition.
