A VISITING police horse provided the inspiration for a group of youngsters in Redcar to make police horses out of card.

The activity was part of a series of events to coincide with an exhibition about the history of the police at the Kirkleatham Old Hall Museum.

Children at the cardcraft session were joined by a mounted officer from Cleveland Police who answered questions about his job.

The police theme continued this week, with the chance for children to make police identity cards and lollystick police puppets.
