ROCKWALL, TEXAS (June 7, 2026) — The Rockwall County Sheriff’s Posse invites experienced riders to participate in a free mounted training clinic designed to strengthen the partnership between horse and rider while preparing for real-world challenges.

The training will be led by Bayley Jonz, a Certified National Mounted Police Services Instructor with more than 20 years of experience in the horse industry. Drawing on proven mounted law enforcement training techniques, Jonz will provide riders with practical skills that enhance confidence, communication, and control in a variety of environments.
