Our county (Montgomery, PA) is taking a different approach. The mounted SAR
unit in training (SE PA SAR) is being tasked with providing animal handling
expertise to local police, fire, EMA and EMS personnel who are well versed
in people rescue and extrication. A plan to pre-survey and pre-stock
various parklands and open spaces as shelters with portable fencing and
water tanks has been proposed for the horse population. This keeps the
large numbers of horses in the same groups they are hauled in with and
easier to control, identify, and prevent disease transmission.
