The six mustangs purchased by the Border Patrol back in July have been busy.

From then to now, the horse patrol has assisted agents in finding more than 600 illegal crossers throughout the Valley. When it comes to drugs, the four-legged team also helped seize more than 3,600 pounds of marijuana.

The wild mustangs were tamed through the Noble Mustang Program. Federal prison inmates trained the animals for work along the border.
