Mounted search and rescue

[Lois Guyon <laguyon2@yahoo.com>]

The Mounted training in KY cost $275 with or without a horse --- three long 
days.  Those who brought horses were given a large covered stall.  They 
brought their own bedding, feed, etc.

 

The company who put on the training has been in the police training business 
for some time, but I think this may have been their first search and rescue 
venture.  The course resulted in a certificate but not linked to any 
particular standard.  The course was basic SAR most appropriate for newer 
searchers.  They will be putting together next year's curriculum and would 
probably welcome input on training needs from around the country. They 
modified their course mid-stream based on the level of experience they found 
in their students.  Give them a call and talk with them.  They are very 
approachable.

 

Tomorrow the two of us who attended the KY school will do some training for 
our local unit.  We will be using some of the materials and information we 
brought back from KY.

  I've been behind in reading posts, but the question about minnesota 
units caught my attention.  There are 32 or 33 mounted units in MN.  
They are, in no particular order:
Marshall, Polk, Beltrami, Hubbard, Cass, Wadena, Crow Wing, Carlton, 
Pine, Otter Tail, Todd, Douglas, Benton, Sherburne, Meeker, Wright, 
Washington, Carver, Sibley, Scott, Dakota, Le Sueur, Goodhue, Nicollet, 
Waseca, Steele, Dodge, Winona, Mower.
  I realize that doesn't make 32, but that is just from memory.  They 
are all full of some very fine people.
