Mounted search and rescue

["Chuck Daniel" <iwhound@voyager.net>]

Hi Pat,

While I cannot give you specific training advise, I can recommend a book 
that will help you and your riding partners.  The book I have in mind is 
"Bombproof Your Horse" by Sgt Rick Pellicno.  (ISBN 1-57076-260-0)

Pages 127-132 deal will flags and parades.  The technique Sgt Pelicano uses 
is sound and the photos illustrating the desensitizing process add insight. 
But more to the point, since your horse will be in a parade, the rest of the 
book will be of even more importance to you and your horse.

Good luck

Chuck
