I have mentioned before some problems faced by MSAR volunteers
who want to participate *with their horses* in SAR conferences.
Well, can anyone here offer good ways to find some solutions?

Conference organizers have told me of visiting likely venues
where some horses are kept already, but when they ask about
accomodating SAR horses there during the conference, they are
told flat out "no". I was not present on these visits, so I
don't know how the organizers put this question to the venue
managers or what assumptions were made by either party. What
works? What doesn't work? What points are the deal-killers?
Liability insurance, concern about contagious equine diseases,
hassle, mess, something else?
