Mounted search and rescue

["Sue Dolezal" <kk7smd@bendbroadband.com>]

Does anyone have a favorite communication harness they ride with?  I have 
tried a couple variations, but haven't been happy with either.  When mounting 
my horse, the radio antenna can get hung up on the saddle rigging.  Annoying 
during the best of conditions, but add in wind, rain, snow or any other 
annoyance, and I am ready to tie it to my saddle!

It is my preference to wear my radio (or radios...many times an 800 and a 
portable ham), cell phone, etc in a communications harness on my body, 
however, I find also that moving along quickly when clearing trails or when 
sent quickly to a trail staging location, you get a lot of bouncing.

Any wonderful suggestions out there for mounted SAR?

Thank you,
