Seven San Diego police horses will be sold in an online auction after their unit was disbanded in December, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

San Diego Police Assistant Chief Bob Kanaski said the seven horses, which range in age from 9 to 12 years old, will likely bring opening bids of $500 to $1,500. Their equipment will also be offered for sale.

The auction will begin today. Potential buyers can see the horses from 9 a.m. to noon Thursday, but the animals cannot be ridden or handled. Kanaski told the Union-Tribune other law enforcement groups have expressed interest in the animals, which are sound and trained for crowds, traffic, and loud noises.
