WAMSTAR Mounted Search & Rescue Team Assists Authorities

By Pat McKnight, Correspondent for The Country Today / thecountrytoday.com

Searching for people from the back of a horse can be effective for rescuing the lost. The members of the Whitewater Area Mounted Search Team & Rescue know this and have been providing their services to authorities to help with locating missing persons. The how-tos of starting and operating a volunteer mounted search and rescue unit were presented by WAMSTAR mother and daughter team of Kelly and Amy Wojcik at the Midwest Horse Fair held in April at the Alliant Center in Madison. Although first formed in 2007, WAMSTAR acquire official nonprofit status in 2011and currently has 15 members. Photo by Pat McKnight Ten of the members are certified to ride in the field. Whitewater Area Mounted Search Team & Search-and-rescue horse and rider teams must receive a Rescue secretary Kelly Wojcik presented a 90 percent score in performing the list of tasks to be certified program at the Midwest Horse Fair about and they must be recertified every other year. the process of forming and operating a mounted search-and-rescue unit. “Practice is so essential in both old and new skills,” said Kelly. “Teams must also be prepared. You don’t want to be putting together the new bridle you bought at Midwest Horse Fair when there’s a call.” The training for mounted search-and-rescue riders includes learning to pay attention to details and how to “read” their horses. With their sensitive hearing and awareness of their surroundings, horses are especially suited for detecting a person or body. “We learn how to listen to our horses and see what they’re telling us,” said Kelly. “Our horses can detect things we can’t. They can also draw out a person.” The special attraction can be effective for connecting with subjects who might resist other types of searchers. Along with instruction in volunteer safety, navigation and communication, the search-and-rescue volunteers receive training in human behavior. They learn people will behave differently depending on age, mental status, physical ability the circumstances under which the person became lost and the effect fear has on the victim.

WAMSTAR Mounted Search & Rescue Team Assists Authorities

“Most victims are found a mile or two from where they were last seen,” said Kelly. “Victims will follow a path of least resistance. They’ll tend to go downhill, but it’s common for them to walk in circles.” Hunters tend to go into unknown areas, and hikers may use old or overgrown trails. In these situations, the lost want to be found. On the other hand, youngsters and others who are insecure around strangers might hide from searchers. “Some people don’t want to be found,” said WAMSTAR member Deb Kahn, “but generally, they’re not dangerous.” The various types of mounted search and rescue incidents are hasty, rapid, systemic and tight grid. A fifth type is the “bastard” search; that’s when the victim is found someplace else and was never in the search area. While the mounted search team offers its services without charge, it doesn’t respond to a situation until law enforcement requests its help. The team needs to work closely with law enforcement, and WAMSTAR has people designated as the go-betweens with incident command. Incident command manages the functions of the emergency response. The first person from the team arriving on the site becomes the incident lead for the team; that person runs the base for the entire incident. “All the team members are trained on communication and navigation skills,” said Kelly. The volunteers are sent out, at a minimum, in teams of two; one of the team is the leader the other the navigator. To lessen the chance clues won’t be missed, the mounted searchers stop often to look around. “Don’t search while you’re moving,” said Kelly. “You’re not going to find as much as if you stop and look.” Night searches pose their own challenges. “In night searches, we ride single file, use flood lights, flashlights and reflective gear,” said Kelly. Riders wanting to form search-and-rescue units should set a goal of forming a qualified resource capable of serving the public. “Teams should build relationships with law enforcement and do outreach,” said Amy. “Do safety days or National Night Outs; become a credible team.” More information about WAMSTAR can be found on its website at https://www.wamstar.org.

St. Anthony’s Ridge Retreat

By Pat McKnight, Correspondent for The Country Today / thecountrytoday.com

A Viroqua area horsemanship center is applying the philosophy, “There’s something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man,” (Winston Churchill) to the inner lives of those seeking deeper spiritual discernment. Started three years ago, St. Anthony’s Ridge Horsemanship Center has offered its

“Hoof it to Healing” retreats to help Photo by Pat McKnight participants foster their spirituality through St. Anthony’s Ridge Horsemanship Center owner Brenda Corr a connection with horses. Five participants, (center) instructs retreat participant Susan Frank (left) in an activity enjoying the day of making connections, with Halo, one of Corr’s geldings. Frank was a retreatant at the came away from the June 8 retreat with horsemanship center’s June 8 summer retreat. new awareness. “Interacting with the horses was awesome,” said retreat participant Barb Partin. “I really didn’t know how emotional the interaction is with your horse. Feeling the energy between the two being connected was awesome. I will recommend to others.” Although based on Roman Catholic teachings and Franciscaninspired values, the retreats are open to anyone seeking spiritual growth and healing. “I have been healed by horses since I was nine,” said retreatant Susan Frank of Viroqua. “It (the connection with horses) could help us all. The principles apply on so many levels physical, mental, spiritual and to all areas of our lives.” The center’s 145 acres gives participants time and space to disconnect from their busy lives and connect with nature. Along with activities to form a relationship with a horse partner, the retreat’s program incorporates inspirational talks, healing prayer and time for personal reflection. With the assistance of the “posse” ministry team, retreatants have the opportunity to experience God’s healing power. “Connecting with horses is a metaphor of my relationship with God,” said Corr. “Connecting with God, we are a conduit; there’s an insidetoinside connection.” Continued on next page...

St. Anthony’s Ridge Retreat Corr began the horse-human ministry after she bought a horse she diagnosed as catatonic. A few days after bringing the horse to her home, Corr said the gelding “blew up.” The gelding is now a regular part of the retreat program, helping participants seeking wholeness. Although retreatants were instructed in a gentle method for communicating with their horse partner, Corr emphasized the handling of the lead rope wasn’t just to teach a maneuver but to also establish a deeper connection. That concept sets a retreat apart from a horse-handling clinic. Corr says effective communication with a horse comes when the horse is able to release fear. “Horses can sense things below the level of our awareness through ‘feel,’” said Corr. “We want the horse to release in the root of its neck. To get this release, we need to help them choose our good feel over their fear.” Retreat participants were matched with a horse outfitted with a halter and long lead rope. The human partner was instructed to stand by the side of her horse behind its shoulder and then step away at an angle while running their hands forward on the lead. As the handler gave the horse more line while maintaining a sliding contact on the rope, the horse would turn and face its human partner. Since the horse didn’t need to brace against a pull on the lead, the base of its neck relaxed. Retreatants were also guided through centering exercises demonstrating how a person’s focus or mental intention can create strength and control in the body’s limbs. The exercises illustrated how patterns of thought empower a person’s abilities. The horsemanship center is offering one more retreat this year, Sept. 28. More information can be obtained by visiting the center’s website at www.saintanthonysridgehorsemanshipcenter.com or by calling 608.632.5208. The center is also on Facebook.
