In some places, there is a general riding custom: red ribbon
on the tail = kicker; green ribbon = green (ie, inexperienced)
horse and/or rider.
But let's step back and ask ourselves this: Does a green horse
and/or green rider belong in any MSAR activity? Training, mock
search, or actual life-and-death mission?
