Mic the Horse
Sgt. Brandon Moore and "Mic"
“Mic” the horse has retired from active duty, Forsyth County Sheriff Ted Paxton announced today.

Sheriff Paxton said that Mic was one of two horses purchased when the Mounted Patrol Unit was formed in April, 2001.  The other horse, “Jimbo” was retired three years ago.

In the years following, Mic faithfully served the Sheriff’s Office and put in thousands of hours patrolling Lake Lanier Parks, making public relations appearances and searching for lost and missing persons, the Sheriff said.

During those years, Mic had three riders assigned to him.  They were Sergeants Brian DeBlois, Eric Silveus and Brandon Moore.

Mic is a 20 year-old American Quarter Horse, Sheriff Paxton added, and will be spending his retirement years grazing in a pasture on a private farm.
