Hello:
My name is Patrick Tabor, and I am a member of the Swan Mission Search &
Rescue (SMSR) team located in Northwest Montana as a volunteer division
of the Lake County Sheriff's Office. We have trained extensively in
search and rescue aided by watercraft, snowmobile and ATV, and now want
to add horseback to our repertoire. I have been assigned to start
planning our training and was wondering if I can lean on your
expertise. I'm actually an outfitter and have extensive horseback
skills and access to large numbers of horses, mules and personnel to
assist. Our goal at SMSR is to train our volunteers on how to utilize
equine to safely transport personnel and equipment to/from scene and aid
in victim assessment, search for lost folks in the woods, and provide
on-the-ground extraction transport coordination and site security. We
would appreciate access to any training materials and procedures and/or
protocols that any of you have developed that we can modify for our
purposes. Please email me at pat.tabor@swanmountainoutfitters.com
Best Regards
Pat Tabor
