       This is a very timely subject. This last month we had a call out for
a missing 23 yr old. The initial time of the call out was 9:30 pm. The
mounted SAR team was called out as was the tracking team. [...]       

I have had 12 years experience with SAR and 6 years as Mounted SAR.
My partner was a new recruit. With a little instruction he was able from
horse back to follow and determine the subjects sign. The trackers were a
little timid but had to admit that we had been able to track him much more
effectively and efficiently than they were. Mounted Man tracking is
definitely a SAR applicable resource! If there are any skeptics send them to
us!
