Border Incident

[Johnny P]

Not really -- horses can go where 4-wheelers can't. And they can stay longer and make less noise.

Don't know if you noticed or not, but the terrain was very flat. The horses were used to control the people trying to get into the U.S.

Maybe short of other personal to use because of the large influx?

The point was not the terrain but the claim that 4-wheelers can replace horses. The Border Patrol has mounted agents because they need to go places 4-wheelers can't.
