Finding sources to glean ideas for written questions on husbandry and such
shouldn't be a problem. Any suggestions for SAR-related topics that are
specific to MSAR?
For example, a general subject area might be regarding
Advantages/Disadvantages of Mounted in SAR. A series of questions would be
designed to test the rider's comprehension on that topic.

I suspect the written would be mostly multiple choice, True/False.
