In northwest Georgia, your choices include units in these counties:
Gilmer, Pickens, Forsyth, maybe Oconee. The following leads are from
"Georgia Horse Council Equine News", Spring 2003, and other sources.

DeKalb's posse reputedly disbanded after selling its land, which was
valuable, giving the proceeds to various charities.

Forsyth County Sheriff's Office Mounted Patrol Unit, established
2001, active in 2005. It isn't clear if civilian volunteers are
included.

Here's a Google search query for you:

Have you tried the state SAR lists?
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SAR-GA/

Let me know how you make out! And please send any corrections or
additions for the MSAR units web directory.
