Mounted search and rescue

[Sue Baugher <sue@wpl.lib.in.us>]

Porter County Indiana just this last year went to helmets - they are 
required any time we are working (includes practices) as a division of 
the Sheriff's Dept. Until last year we wore the traditional western 
hats. The change was made when insurance carriers in our area starting 
looking into the possibility of not covering injuries that may have been 
prevented or lessened by a helmet if the rider was not wearing one.
