Hi Lydia,

ESCAPE, the New Mexico SAR conference, will be in Ruidoso in 
2004, and there are plans to again offer more training for
mounted SAR.  

Several msar-riders subscribers, besides me, were at ESCAPE
2003 this past weekend.  Perhaps some of them will comment on
it for us all?  I was the MSAR instructor, so my perspective
is skewed;  plus, I would really appreciate more feedback on
my classroom presentation.

Thanks,
