Due to vocal public support, private fundraising and successful negotiations with the Park Commissioner over staffing issues the mounted unit was saved.  Ongoing lack of funds for the Boston Park Department, which is less then one percent of the city budget for one of the largest city park systems in the country, will likely mean this issue will be repeated in future years.

"Let it be not for present use and delight alone, but let it be of such a work that our descendents will thank us for it." Frederick Law Olmsted
