Re: RE: search and rescue horses

Tony,
Are you by any chance associated with Doberman Pinschers?  There are a few
doing SAR work, not as many as GS or Labs, but some.  Do you run a training
facility? where?
I do in forest coastal SC.  I am terribly interested in SAR work, have
access to boat and plane, but not the time.  Maybe when I retire from
obedience training/boarding.  I will work Dobies in SAR and ride
endurance!!!  What a life!
Beth and Clann Gunn
