Hello all, I am trying to do some research on horseback rescue, and was
trying to learn possible methods for rescue and transportation of an
injured person. [...] <
Yosemite National Park mounted has been performing mounted rescue (subject
is a passenger in the saddle) for years. This process is taught by them
locally, and I have also been teaching the class around the country. Trying
to establish consistency and provide a common source for developing this
kind of training, Mounted Rescue is now being addressed as an international
standard - in progress - through ASTM. www.astm.org
I haven't nailed down yet which classes I'll be teaching at the NASAR
conference www.nasar.org in NC the end of May, but Mounted Rescue will be
one of them.
I won't be teaching this class, but will teach others, at SARCON near Reno,
NV, April 12-13. www.washoesar.com
