Answer to question #1. I like the idea, it is great for some areas. In fact, Lake -Sumter EMS has an equestrian team for standbys.

Answer to question #2. Although this is personal, I do like to mix it up and occassionally allow her to mount me. 8)

Answer to question #2

AK, two terrifying words to keep in mind: "Mark Foley."

Its an idea that certainly has potential, though i would not expect anything less than the expensive training police mounts use - especially in terms of minimising risk to the public. There would be a prohibitive ongoing cost in the up-keep there i as well. Bikes/motorcycles are probably a better option, but i guess it depends on how often or where your going to use them

Yep its terrifying alright considering where he is females are off limits except for female sheep and goats...glove up

Well this post was intended to be serious…

Everything in life can not be serious my friend.

However, I did answer your first question with all seriousness, as for the second question, remember it was YOU who did the asking. Maybe it needs rephrasing. Always consider your audience when asking such questions of importance, especially the ones who are in EMS as we are a bunch of rude, crude, gruesome lot.

I have never scene horse mounted EMS. I have seen bikes. I read somewhere recent of a jurisdiction that was getting Segways for special events.

Sorry to have taken the humorous route on the first reply. I just cold not resist!!
