RE: RE: search and rescue horses



what amazed me was the mention of search cats. Now I want to
know how they train cats for that duty. I was so amazed I
researched the statement twice and even had my wife read it.
I am aware that cats can train us but us train cats? Well?

Don't know much about training horses for search and rescue,
but have worked
with folks that trained German Shepherd Dogs for search and
rescue as well
as drug detection work.  If you wish I can give you some
basic info. on how
they were training the dogs to find live as well as dead
bodies.  I will
e-mail you privately if you wish since the training can be a
little
gruesome.  But these folks are some of the most dedicated
people I know of.
Long process, and lots of tests and certifications.
For horse, I had one person that I knew that was a search
and rescue team.
You need a real good stable horse.  She had an Arabian!  He
was one of the
best they had!

With all that has happened and seeing the dogs being used
for search and
rescue, I'd like to know if there is anyone on the list who
has trained
their dogs and/or their horses in search and rescue.  I'd
love to know
more about it, if so, and what someone would do to get
started in this.
I think this would be a wonderful fullfilling way to enjoy
our horses
and our dogs and do a service for the community.  Thanks.
