SEARCH AND RESCUE
Why would I want to join the AlpenaCounty Horsemen's Club. You have to be a member to be in the
Search and Rescue. One more way to use our horses.
FAQ
What size does the horse have to be? Your horse can be any size
What if my horse is a trail or show horse. Can it still do Search and Rescue?
It does not matter what kind of horse you have.
What if I only ride English? The type of saddle doesn't matter.
How old does the horse have to be to do Search and Rescue? The horse has to be controllable.
How much does it cost? You only have to be a member of the Alpena Horsemen's Club.
What if I don't know what to do on a search? Every search is different so you would follow
the leader provided by the Horsemen's Club.
Before you can do a Search and Rescue you have to be trained. We are a volunteer group for the Alpena
County Sheriff Department, City Police and the State Police. Because of the search patterns we have to take orders
from the head of the committee (either the head of the Search and Rescue Committee or which ever law enforcement agency is
in charge.)
