You work search at the walk, period.
If they cannot control their mounts to a walk give them something else to do
where speed may help, like running messages or supplies. Try to keep the task
groups to 3 or so, one of yours, someone who knows the area well, and the
newbie. The horse does most of the work so make sure there is an empathy
between the horse and rider. Any rider who has to concentrate on
controlling the horse instead of looking is not doing anybody any good. Try reading the material at www.sepasar.net or in the archives. Irv Lichtenstein From:

[mailto:msar-riders-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Yvette Rollins Hello All, We have been
searching in the Question: We
have a lot of horseback riders joining in the search that have no experience.
What is the best advice you can give me for preparing these people for the
search. We had a search on Tuesday and fortunately only 19 riders showed up and
it was easy to work in teams but we had one team that went off like they were
going to the races. I tried to emphasis caution and care for the horses as well
as the riders and preserving the scene but I do think in their excitement that
did not happen. Yvette |
