Mounted search and rescue

[Una Smith <una.smith@att.net>]

I am getting off-list requests for more information about horses
as scent search animals, and also about working scent search dogs
from horseback.

For starters, here is Terry Nowacki's latest clinic report:
https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/msar-riders/2006q2/003142.html

This is one of several thread on the topic of horses as search
animals in the current quarterly archive of MSAR-Riders, but many
more threads are to be found in our previous quarterly archives.
Our entire archive is searchable on the web.  Here is just one
possible Google search:

http://www.google.com/search?as_q=msar+horse+scent&num=10&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&lr=&as_ft=i&as_filetype=&as_qdr=all&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&as_occt=any&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=ibiblio.org&as_rights=&safe=images

And here is a summary of the first 10 results from that search:
