This might be where reviewing your bi-laws might help.  It is easier to amend these than start new, and still have the problem as a lateral move. Good luck Chris

hello all ,

Is anyone know if I can establish my own mounted search and rescue group that will work with the local SAR? I'm part of a sheriff posse that work with local SAR but many of us are not happy with our mounted SAR coordinator AND WE CAN'T VOTE HIM OUT too many political problems, I know the sheriff is in charge of any SAR activity, maybe we can start an independent mounted search team that will work next to the sheriff?

 

Thank You.

 

E.

Thanks, Irv. I use the reflective tack when we're working, but I would like to do is also have something to put on my gelding when he's at camp overnight. I don't want it to be warm necessarily, just something visual, like a sheet or even a fly sheet, in case there are hunters in the area or he gets away in unfamiliar woods. Though, to be honest, he stays pretty close to where we are.

I have seen bright hunter orange English style pads in use. Personally I use orange saddle bags and an electric fence when he is in corral. If you blanket you can add a mesh highway vest on top or order your blankets in bright orange.  Nylon halters are also available in various colors and less likely to be left behind by a loose horse. A yellow quarter sheet is also available but may be special order.

Hello MSAR Riders, 

 

Can anyone give me some advice regarding what you'd recommend to put on a horse to make it more visible in the woods during a SAR deployment? I will be attending a MSAR weekend in upper Minnesota in October and would like to have a reflective horse blanket or sheet that I can put on my horse both for visual protection and just as an additional precaution in case he gets loose. I've had to help people look for horses in unfamiliar areas before, and it would have been a lot easier to see them if they had a bright blanket on. This would be to put on him when he is in a temporary pen that I'll set up.  I can't seem to find anything in either glow or reflective mat erial on the Internet.

 

Thanks in advance, 

 

Emily Boote
