Mounted search and rescue

["Joan Pottinger" <j.pottinger@insightbb.com>]

I would like the same information if anyone has anything concerning a 
Mounted SAR Unit in Kentucky preferrably around Louisville.  Have a group of 
people that would like to either join a unit, or start one of our own.
Thank you,

Joan
