Joseph,

You can go to the www.vasarco.org site and download the Virginia Equine
SAR standards.  There is a PDF of the basic Horse and Evaluator (HRE)
testing sheet that can be used as a good starting point for your .

If you want to take a road trip and come as an observer, the TROTSAR
Mounted Team is conducting HRE testing on 11 Sept 2010 in Charles County
MD.

My SAR horse Stormy died several months ago and I am working with a
horse I 
recently brought in from West Texas. I would like some input on where to
go 
to find a list of suggestions to get this horse up to speed. He has
great 
ground manners, is easy to ride and I have already started sacking him
out.
