Mounted search and rescue

[Una Smith <una.smith@att.net>]

I love tracking and sign cutting from the saddle.  My horse looks where
she is going and I can concentrate on looking for signs.  When conditions
for sign are good, I can track much faster on horseback than on foot.

Riding a perimeter trail is not containment but hasty searching, unless
conditions are excellent for preserving sign.  When conditions for sign
are that good, riding a perimeter (trail or no trail) is sign cutting.
