Mounted search and rescue

[Una Smith <una.smith@att.net>]

Image is important, but it can play out in funny ways.  Here
in New Mexico, as a rule, people who wear equestrian helmets
have moved here from somewhere else.  Yet my impression is
that the common ground among all mounted SAR folks would be
a climbing or rescue helmet.  Even diehard macho types could
wear one of those without loss of face.  That leaves us just
one other barrier:  cost.
