Sorry, I disagree. Size of the MSAR unit isn't an
issue. The scenario you described - a searcher out in the field alone, separated
from the horse - is a situation that suggests poor management of resources.
Sending out a searcher alone off-road is not considered appropriate, regardless
of the resource type. Minimum teams of 2, and increase that number as the
personnel are farther from support. (For example, in deep backcountry we use
teams of 4 riders.) Safety of the searchers is a primary issue.
Depending on the type of search, at minimum the
separation of a line search should still have visual / voice contact with other
searchers, in which case your hypothetical rider separated from the horse need
only yell / blow the whistle to have another searcher there in moments.
If a single rider shows up and no additional
mounted resources are anticipated, partner that rider with someone else ... even
if a non-rider SAR resource. I've sent out a solo rider with another searcher on
a quad, which on an trail appropriate for both resource types can be an
excellent match.
