Mounted search and rescue

["Terry Nowacki" <wwfarm@wiktel.com>]

Hi Christy

 

I have some really advanced air scenting horse students in NW Nebraska. One of which is in Law Enforcement and others are ranchers if you would like I could let them know, maybe they would be willing travel? I know if Montana was closer to MN myself and our Posse would be interested in helping out.

If you are interested you can e mail me privately.

Subject: [MSAR] MSAR Cadaver

Just wanted to know if anyone has tried training a horse to do cadaver search

 

Our dog unit is currently faced with a cadaver search on a 10,000 acre ranch.

relatively flat pasture land. A lot to walk with your dog. This is a case where

handler would be able to cover more ground if mounted and work the dog, or

even better a horse that would indicate on cadaver.

In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming part dog.   Edward Hoagland
