Kern County Sheriffs Mounted Posse

Kern County Sheriffs Mounted Posse The Kern County Sheriff’s Mounted Posse was started in 1939 and is the oldest existing working posse The Posse sponsors and feeds the children for the day.

Leading the Posse is Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood; along with our elected Command members. Our organization stands tall and rides proud as we commit to raising funds to assist well deserved organizations many of which focus on the area of child welfare. The Posse conducts fund raising events throughout the year to benefit physically and mentally challenged children in Kern County. This inc

ludes a “Kid’s Day at the Kern County Fair for 3,000 children. The Sheriff’s Posse is best known for its high profile in parades and rodeos, but members perform many fundraisers throughout the year as well as devoting hands on volunteer hours to help enrich the lives of many. Donations include: handicapped bicycles, playground equipment, to children and schools in need throughout Kern County. Church Camps are sponsored for troubled kids in order to get them back on track and to have productive lives. The Kern County Sheriff’s Mounted Posse is an organization of volunteers who provide support to Kern County and the State of California through example, camaraderie and good will; and who represent the Sheriff in providing community service, with the primary emphasis on the use of horses. Posse members are uniformed representatives of the Sheriff, but are not Law Enforcement personnel and do not enforce laws. The Posse has male and female members and is always interested in recruiting new members that are willing to be active within the group. The Kern County Mounted Sheriff’s Posse continues the grand tradition of the old west by providing volunteer services to the Sheriff and the community. While the Sheriff’s Department does provide some support to the Posse, most Posse expenses are covered by members, donations and fund-raising events.
