Mounted search and rescue

[<Jorene@CEOates.com>]

I had some interesting discussion regarding possible options for MSAR at the SAR City conference this weekend. How many of you use / train to use your mounts in Technical Rescue? Not just as transportation, but based on modified "weight drag" training actually use the mount as an anchor when there isn't an obvious other anchor available? Or even use the mount for pulling?
