Mounted search and rescue

[Pennbo <pennbo@bbv.net>]

HI Ian, we are trying to view ourselves as a "ground" SAR team with a 
specialty in Mounted SAR. Most of us are willingly called out on foot 
searches. (we have the same certification and training.) It makes sense 
because you never know when you might have to leave the horses behind 
and proceed on foot anyway. We also practice cross country skiing and 
snow shoeing- as well as winter riding. We've talked about having at 
least a couple of members get certified in low angle rope rescues as 
well to augment the teams effectiveness in the wilderness. Many of us 
have experience with ATVs and snowmobiles although we don't train with 
them.

Is this what you were looking for?
