Mounted search and rescue

[Lauri <kd7psi@yahoo.com>]

Thank you Jorene. I met a man who had been transported out via horse. He had 
never ridden a horse before and had a broken lower leg. Once the leg was 
stablized he said the ride was not uncomfortable and was very impressed with 
the care taken by the mounted team (inlcuding the horses). He knew his 
options and was very thankful for the ride.

I suspect someone with a blister from new hiking boots - slowed down and
uncomfortable walking - would consider a backboard/CID and Stokes overkill.
But if that same person can sit a saddle without problems you can eliminate
the rubbing boot and get them out faster than a litter carry. ;-)

There are several possible ways to transport with horsepower.  In all cases
you start with a packaged patient on a back board/CID and in a Stokes
litter. [...]
