"Brink" Brinkman Collection, Kerrville, Texas, 2003, p. 42, illustrated.Stopping a Runaway is a rare early work depicting a mounted patrolman apprehending a suspect, drawn from Olaf Wieghorst's own colorful life. Wieghorst joined the New York City mounted police at the age of twenty-four. Being a mounted patrolman suited him, as he was an accomplished stunt rider and stockhand growing up in Denmark. He was assigned to a remount station where he trained horses and new riders.1 After a twenty year career with the New York Police Department, he retired in 1944 and settled in Southern California.1 Fine Arts Gallery of San Diego, Olaf Wieghorst, San Diego, California, 1976, p. 5.
