Lane County Sheriff's Mounted Posse We are volunteers who use our equestrian skills to provide assistance to the Sheriff and the citizens

The Lane County Sheriff’s Mounted Posse was founded in 1941. The war was taking a toll on staffing levels, so the posse was created to help share in and lighten the work load. Today, the posse's primary function in service to the Sheriff and the citizens of Lane County is in serving as a fully certified part of the search and rescue program. We also manage the equestrian arena at Mount Pisgah and act as ambassadors of public relations for the Sheriff’s office. The Posse is involved in a wide range of activities including ceremonies, parades, public relations, education, search and rescue, parking, security work as fundraising, and a drill team to keep our horses in top physical condition. We are family-oriented and find time for fellowship, celebration, family campouts and trail rides. Please contact us if you would like more information about using the arena or have questions about joining.

September 19th & 20th, 2026. Eight of our posse riders and 2 auxiliary members made the trek east over the mountain to Brasada Ranch Rim Rock Riders Arena where Deschutes County Posse hosted the annual OAMP Shodeo. Our posse family had an amazing weekend competing with other posses throughout the state. Was amazing to see all the Sheriffs and deputy’s ride in for the Grand Entry.

July 22nd to 26th continued with the Posse parking vehicles for the Lane County Fair. The fair was a busy full 5 days, but a grand time made even grander with our Sheriff Wilkerson helping park cars on horseback. The posse would like to express a BIG THANK YOU to all the extra volunteers that come together to make this huge event successful. It’s truly a small army of dedicated people that wouldn’t be possible without all of them.
