We do not have fixed field teams; in trainings, we prefer to mix
and match everyone, so that we all learn to work with eachother.
Our field teams should not have less than 2 *experienced* riders
(adept in both horsemanship and MSAR). Depending on exactly who
can respond for a given mission, we structure the field teams to
maximize safety. We like to have 2 experienced riders in a team
with any newbies. Sometimes that means we field just one large
team. Sometimes that means we cannot avoid pairing slowpoke and
speed demon horses together in a team. This is very frustrating
for horses and riders, but on the whole better than mis-matching
abilities.
