What is mounted search rescue?

Mounted Search and Rescue (MSAR) teams are specialized groups that use trained horses and riders to assist in locating and rescuing missing or lost persons, often in challenging or remote terrains where vehicles cannot easily access. These teams are skilled in navigation, first aid, and equine management, allowing them to cover large areas more efficiently than ground teams on foot. MSAR members often work in coordination with local law enforcement and emergency services, providing essential support during search missions, natural disasters, and community events.
