Our amazing team of volunteers comes from all walks of life. One thing these men and women have in common is a strong desire to give back to the community while utilizing their years of experience, knowledge, and expertise with livestock in search and rescue missions.

Mounted SAR volunteers use their own animals, tack, and transportation when responding to requests for assistance.
Mounted responders can, in some terrains, move faster on the ground than a human on foot, can transport more equipment, and may be less physically exhausted than a SAR responder performing the same task on foot.

New Mexico Mounted Search and Rescue was founded in 2009 as a specialty team using horses and mules as search partners and for transportation to search for missing persons. NMMSAR can also provide off-road logistics support and transportation.
Our primary purpose is to promote the common interest of volunteer groups dedicated to the saving of life and the relief of human suffering during emergencies in the State of New Mexico.
