Yes, the pastern is another name for the ankle bone.
Yes. Although a decent lenght of pastern gives the horse a comfortable ride, pasterns that are too long can be a detriment, especially in the sport of jumping. Long, very sloped pasterns can break down with repeated stress, which of course jumping is. If you have a horse with this kind of conformation it may be a good idea to find a less demanding sport. Remember also to use wraps or protective boots when doing vigorous work with your horse. Added caution:When a horse comes down on the other side of a fence his front feet and legs hit the ground first taking all the weight and concussion. Something to think about with long pasterns.

No, not all police have dogs. There is a K-9 unit for police with dogs though.
saying the horse's legs are down may mean that the horse is lame, or that the slope of the pasterns is incorrect.
No. Only if they are really specially trained. The most common dogs you would use is a German Shepard or a Bloodhound. All dogs could become police dogs, but they would have to have special training. Plus, all dogs have a disadvantage. =3 Woof
