Mounted search and rescue

[ALLEN SNYDER <allendana1@sbcglobal.net>]

I was just going to send a note to the home address listed.  I agree with the 
heat and other factors that each individual horse/rider team must know their 
limitations or be watching for signs of dehydration/stress.  The person in 
charge would of course also make a call if safety of the team were at risk.  
In field work on foot we try to keep the team to no less than 4 persons if 
possible.  Does this also apply to MSAR? 
   
  Do you need any resources for heat-related information?  
epa.gov/heatisland/about/heatresponseprograms.html is technical, but can be 
downloaded and has good information esp. on pages 10-11, 16-20, 24-25 and 40. 
 I have written simpler version of my own for our squadron. 
   
  Thanks for all the tips about herding cattle and horses for a "greenhorn".  
I now can wear a bandana over my nose with understanding or to protect my 
ears and neck.

  Also, does anyone have a correct email address for this person? I tried 
the one listed with the article but it was not good.

Thanks,
