Congratulations to our newest member Lori Davison !
Lori was a member in the early years of the posse and has decided to return.
Members must pass a qualification course with their horse, prove competency as a horse and rider team in search conditions, and pass a background check with the Sheriff's Office. The member is then sworn in with the Sheriff and granted status as a Special Deputy.

We had a great night at the First Responders Rally. It takes years of continued training for our horses to remain calm in chaotic situations. The close helicopter didn't even phase them!
