Mounted search and rescue

"I have distilled is that yes there is a need for training without 
horses and yes many MSAR folks aren't going to attend unless they can 
bring their equines."

This thread has passed through several e-mails and it is treated as 
it is a serious problem. I was quite surprised by this. It is an 
attitude problem and easily fixed ( but mostly prevented). You simply 
make it clear what is expected of potential members

In my unit if you don't met the required training objectives with and 
without your horse you don't get certified. If you are not certified 
you don't get called out.
