[mailto:msar-riders-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of The Hitchn Post Hello I've been
reading now all the comment on Helmet vs. Cowboy hat for the last couple of
weeks now I think we have covered all the issues. Bottom line: Helmets ugly... but safer......use them. I would like to talk
about some training our group has been doing with air scenting. I have been
working with my Mare from Terry Nowacki's book. So I have started with the
ground work but most of the group have not had the time, so with some of our
practices we have set out people to hide and sent one rider in at a time
(downwind). The riders are
learning how each of their horse react or alert when they hit the scent, when
the horse moves towards and reaches the person hiding he is then
rewarded with a treat from both the rider and hider. All horses alert
differently as do K-9's (I also train search & rescue dogs) so the rider
needs to learn their horse's alerts. This has been
fun for both horse and riders. By training your horse to air scent then he
becomes a partner and a tool not just means of transportation on on a search. Pam Williams, Commander Iron County
