Mounted search and rescue

[Jeff Ezell <eztech@pdq.net>]

Karen & All - the search ended Sunday. I talked to Tim Miller today as they were driving back to Houston from IL. He said one of their volunteers found the shallow grave with her body Sunday, after 1.5 days of searching. LE was extremely pleased to have the help from Equusearch all the way from Texas. Tim and a case mgr had flown to IL over a month ago to meet with the family & LE to plan the search. They've been searching locally since May.

I believe TxEq pays several hundred dollars/mo for their website support & hosting. All that money comes from fundraising activities in the community, ss does all the money needed to support all search expenses. www.TxEq.org

Yep, nothing that EquuSearch won't do- if you can pay.

Chris and all,

 

Yes,  (and I am assuming you were meaning about website production??!)

 

Website production can be costly and  extremely time consumig as well!  It helps if you have a big staff and someone on it that can do this full time, but there are a number of free website hosts available that can help with the production of a website and little to even no cost... which is great for volunteer units or anyone on a very tight budget.

 

You can make a large site by LINKING several hosts together as well.  It helps too to have a little skill with a camera and some software that you can play around with in cropping and lettering pics!

 

Perhaps Una or some one else out there can help this discussion along and bring up the archives on the websites that we have listed on this site before.  Right now, I have no additional places to offer other than those already in those archive posts and if those sites can be put up, someone else could possibly add to them?

 

One thing, if you "partner" with a site that offers advertising to others or classifieds and the like, you will find many places in addition to what you may not have if you don't.  It can help gettgn the word out too, but as always any ads draw in spam. Partnerships do have disadvantages as you might not like the "ads" monkeying up the look of your site, but you can learn to work around that in time with a little skill.  It's all in eye appeal.

 

On another note, I am happy to report that we were able to get another mount saddle broke this weekend, she just needs hours...but we are still in a desperate situation regarding hay.

and the 10 equines we need to bring through winter....

 

Any word on the ARNETTE SEARCH?  Did that search end this weekend?
