Mounted search and rescue

["Patty Montoya" <riverrider@bak.rr.com>]

Last weekend I met some people who were packing little horses (13-14 hands) 
that were half Percheron and half "halflinger".  They were both paints and 
"narrow" horses.  They claimed they had great minds and were very good 
packers.  I am somewhat interested.  Anyone have any opinion on this cross?
Also, our unit requires that we pack hobbles, but I always highline or 
electric fence my horses.  So, I went out and bought hobbles with no intent 
to use them.  I don't really want to get into a discussion of the pros or 
cons of the hobbles themselves, I'm more interested in opinions of the unit 
REQUIRING that I use them.  Should the individual make this decision, or are 
we obligated to follow this rule just as we are obligated to follow other 
MSAR rules and regulations?
