I have never responded to any of the conversations before but I certainly enjoy reading all of them.
My husband and I are members of the Jackson County Sheriff's Mounted Posse and Search & Rescue Team (Missouri).
I just wanted to let everyone know that the September issue of the Western Horseman magazine has a great article on Mounted Search & Rescue....I enjoyed reading it and thought I would pass the info on.
Sincerely,
Sherry Baer,
Lone Jack, Mo.

Below is a press release about this annual event, in New Jersey
this year. For local driving directions and a map see

http://www.morrisparks.net/parks/directions/loantakadir.htm

The most interesting part for MSAR responders probably would be
the obstacle course, a staple of mounted police competitions.
I hope someone here will go to watch and take plenty of photos.

September 23 & 24: THIS SHOULD BE AN AWESOME EVENT! Morris County Mounted
Park Police are planning a two-day (Mounted Police) competition the weekend
of Sept. 23-24 at Seaton Hackney Stables in Morris Township. They need
volunteers and help raising funds ($10,000-$15,000).

If you and/or your club would like to volunteer or make a donation, contact
Sgt. Mike Puccetti either by email mpuccetti@morrisparks.net or calling
Mike's cell phone 973-725-4036.

Police officers and horses from throughout the Nation will converge on
Morris County this fall, when the 23rd annual National Police Equestrian
Competition comes to the soon-to-reopen Seaton Hackney Stables.

The two-day competition is scheduled for the weekend of Sept. 23-24 at the
stables in Morris Township, which have been closed for three years while
undergoing renovations.

"It's a great spectacle to see. Mounted units come from as far away as San
Francisco and Florida and Canada," said Park Police Chief William Huyler,
one-time competition medalist for his agency's mounted unit. "But we're
going to have to work quickly to put this together."

The police equestrian competition began in the 1980s, started by the
National Park Service and the U.S. Park Police to bring together mounted
units from throughout the country. It has grown into a spectacle that has
drawn as many as 130 police agencies from the U.S. and Canada, including
units from the Passaic County Sheriff's Office and police departments in
Carlstadt and Lambertville.

Huyler said his force will start working immediately to raise funds -- about
$10,000 to $15,000 -- needed to run the event. Expenses will include
erecting temporary stables, bringing in judges and getting trophies for
winners, he said. Seaton Hackney is in the final stages of a $1 million
renovation. A new roof, better windows, an improved hayloft, upgraded horse
stalls, a fully restored apartment and greatly improved structural supports
are all in the works.

"It will be ready for the competition, which will be a perfect fit for our
50th anniversary," said Park Commission Executive Director David Helmer
