So far it seems that Minnesota is fairly unique in that private groups hold
weekend training's (open for all)
where the training's are TOTALY for Mounted - Patrol/ Posse /Search Teams.
Theses are large training's with 70 to 100 participants along with 4 to 5
instructors.
Participants really like these weekend training's, like I said it is not
unusually for all slots to fill up months
ahead of time and the participants are willing to pay for it.
Groups and individuals come back year after year, its like a family reunion
and a great place to net work!
