Former wild horses in inauguration

.
Some formerly wild horses that are now used by the U.S. Border Patrol in the Spokane Sector will be part of next month's inaugural parade for Barack Obama. The horses operates out of Colville, Metaline Falls and other Inland Northwest locations. Eight of the mustangs will be sent to Washington, D.C., next month to march in the parade with the agency's honor guard and bagpipe and drum team. The agency adopts horses captured and auctioned by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, and has them trained by inmates in the Colorado state prison system. The horses are then sent to Border Patrol stations in the Spokane Sector, which covers Eastern Washington, North Idaho and Western Montana.
