Mounted search and rescue

["Roland Newton" <newtonrn@huxcomm.net>]

My husband and I are also 'hams'. I am the horse person of the team, though. 
We have found that communications is one aspect of almost every event that 
everyone says is needed, and often is lacking. We have a number of active ham 
radio groups in Central Iowa that participate in providing just the 
communications to many events (state fair parade, marathons, etc.) 

We are also both members of the Civil Air Patrol, with my husband working to 
develop better communications availability there, and I am hoping to 
establish some Mounted SAR ability within our search and rescue units. I was 
fortunate to participate in the Henry County Mounted SAR clinic in Illinois 
the last weekend of April. Hope to contact some of the other Mounted CAP 
units for more information and tips....why re-invent the wheel?

I'm learning a bunch reading the posts....Thanks for all the input and info!
