Mounted search and rescue

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

MSAR-Riders,

Last summer, MSAR-Riders subscriber Richard Lynch sent me the following
information that I would like to share with you.  He also sent a photo
and a scan of a newspaper clipping about a search and rescue exercise
involving 35 responders:  SAR ground teams, mounted SAR, and canine SAR.
I can forward these if you are interested.  LTC Lynch is CC'd on this
post, so you can contact him directly.

For what it is worth, I know of a volunteer mounted patrol team that
does safety patrols on Hampton Beach.  (New Hampshire has a short and
mostly rocky coastline on the Atlantic Ocean.)
