Mounted search and rescue

[MSAR <msar@ibiblio.org>]

The 100-head horses rescued from flooding, discussed here last year,
is again going the rounds of equestrian discussion groups.  The new
interest is due to some cool video clips.  MSAR-Riders has received
multiple information requests from non-subscribers (non-subscriber
posts go to me directly).  So FWIW, here are some links:

6.5 minute run time with editorial comments and musical soundtrack,
poor image quality

18 minute run time, original soundtrack, good image quality

Another, while you're at it, is Lorenzo The Flying Frenchman, doing
a truly impressive Roman chariot routine sans tack:

4 minute promotional video, very popular, seems to have been severely
downgraded in image quality to minimize bandwidth use since it first
appeared.  (Does anyone have an URL to a better copy?)  Dailymotion
has the better viewer.

And a mounted police drill team "activity ride" involving some fun
stunts.
