Hi John,
http://www.ibiblio.org/msar/ lists some helpful books and
other resources. You are in good company here. Some more
information about you would be helpful, at this point, to
give us a clearer idea how to direct you.
Do you have personal experience and/or training in search
and rescue? That is essential, to build a new team from
scratch. In some cases, team builders can learn on the
job, but that requires strong support from the local SAR
community. In Nevada, would that be your county sheriff's
office? Which county? And is your horse group the county
"parade" posse, rodeo association, or some other kind of
horsemen's group?
