The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary has a new police horse on duty.
The force's mounted unit now includes a four-year-old male percheron named Dr. Rich.
The 1,600-pound horse was donated by Lt.-Gov. Frank Fagan, who named the horse after his son, the late Dr. Richard Fagan.
He completed his medical studies at Memorial University in St. John's, but lost his battle with cancer in 2012 shortly before his 26th birthday.
