Following changes to federal regulations concerning emergency responses a community risk assessment  disclosed that resources for mounted search and rescue were lacking . Therefore a determined effort was made to locate the expertise in the community and in June, 2005 SEPASAR was incorporated as PA non-profit corporation. Fundraising and recruiting efforts resulted in the organization becoming viable in January, 2006 with members, insurance, county dispatch, and access to public safety training facilities. By July members had basic training, attended Large Animal Rescue at the New Bolton Center of the University of Pennsylvania and established a training ride schedule.   We are a professional organization. Our volunteers serve on international standards committees for search and rescue. Several have over 20 years SAR experience, and most riders have over 10 years in the saddle. Our training program features our state certified instructors in SAR, rescue, and emergency organizations.
