Each member provides his/her own horse, which must be at least 5 years of age and well mannered, along with the means to transport the horse. We are all trained in First Aid, CPR, Incident Command Operations, Orienteering, and Tracking. We have bi-monthly business meetings and on the off months we have training sessions.
