I’m sorry to say that our local SAR, Sanders County
Search & Rescue mounted team was disassembled. I never got a written
notice, but heard through the grapevine. I had been on the reserve list
for a while due to a lack of mount. The vet said my old horse could not
participate any more. Then I purchased two horses to ready and heard the
bad news. I was very disappointed, to say the least.

Subject: [MSAR] Mounted SAR news in your area? How
have you been? I'd like to hear! Here in northern New Mexico USA all the mounted SAR teams have been busy. Several of our state police districts have been running far above average in number of SAR missions. We even have a new team over in Farmington. Mounted teams are so valuable for the greater distance and speed they can travel compared to a searcher on foot, potential for the rider to focus on detecting clues while the horse negotiates the terrain, and potential for the horse to detect (air scent) the subject. It helps that our state SAR Resource Officer is a former mounted SAR responder.
