Mounted search and rescue

[Karen Nesbitt <spanishequines@yahoo.com>]

  Has anyone tried this method...instead of hobbles, using their saddle as a 
"rock" to tie their horse.  If using a western saddle one could dallyoff to 
the horn  Some horses will ground tie, but perhaps the extra persuation of 
the wieght of the saddle may give them just enough tying "power" to stay put 
in case of an emergency where you need to leave off your horse and there is 
nothing to tie to and you are assisting someone?

  When riding english, we usually will have a halter under the bridle with 
the leadline looped around the neck of the horse.  The tie could then be 
adapted to the saddles stirrups when tying off.
   
  Of course I do not recommend this until you have trained enough at home as 
you may also find your horse dashing off with your saddle banging about until 
he is used to the idea.  But in an emergency, it may work for some.

Look at a US Cavalry rig-- lead lines or neck ropes were always in place. I
keep the halter on under my bridle and I use a double rigged roping saddle
and breast plate, keep a neck rope in the bags or in place because it is
longer than a conventional lead.
