Mounted SAR

Mounted Search & Rescue / Equine SAR

“Mounted SAR” or “Equine SAR” as they are synonymously known is a relatively new form of SAR using horses and sometimes trained air scenting horses.

The premise being that an air scenting horse has improved search capabilities in its ability to ‘air scent’ similar to a dog. Plus it can carry the SAR operator / rider faster and more efficiently on its back in rural / wilderness terrain as well as some urban areas.

In our Mounted SAR / Equine SAR training we expect some horse riding competency.

Then we teach the search and rescue, self rescue, survival, search patterns, team work, etc that goes with it.
