Our RED Recon Training launches in 2011 this Saturday at 9am with TWO (2) Credits. (You can do the training without joining the R.E.D. RECON programme but as registration is still free and you get freebies with it - you may as well join the programme!

The day's events will start with a review of the R.E.D. RECON programme and issuance of the Training Log. Introductions to the areas with incumbent training will follow.

Then off to some wilderness survival basics will key skills - in this case - cordage, paracord use and rope. Course survival knives will be issued for free as a launch bonus as well as a unique paracord survival kit. You will learn lots here.

The afternoon horse riding will continue after lunch with training and riding with an associated intro. to the use of Search and Rescue Horses. Whether you have done some riding before or are a beginer, you should have fun and learn.

Certificates are issued at the end of the day and 2 RED RECON credits assigned on your training log.

Mounted SAR Inductions for Equine (Horse) Search and Rescue. Using material from established sources and our experienced Horse Riding Trainers we did a very enjoyable afternoon of Horse Riding and SAR (Search and Rescue.) We also combined some 'field bushcraft' knowledge and skills when in the wilderness. Great day had by all!
