USCSDA Horseback Scouting revisited

After some questions concerning horseback scouting in USCSDA Trials:

AT THE DIRECTION OF THE JUDGES-
The scout riding an edge or a particularly dense piece of cover, AT THE DIRECTION OF THE JUDGES, is perfectly acceptable.
The scout heeling the dog back to the front is NOT.

Please remind your Judges, Handlers, and Scouts about the rules governing Horseback Scouting!!

I continue to receive complaints regarding the abuse of Horseback Scouting. It's pretty simple:

1. Scouts dispatched with Judges permission.

2. Scouts can go to a specific area to look for a dog and then returns to the gallery - OUTRIDING IS NOT PERMITTED.

3. A SCOUT IS NOT ALLOWED TO HANDLE THE DOG IN ANY MANNER.

4. Scouting is either done on foot or on horseback. USE OF 4-WHEELER IS NOT PERMITTED.

Let's get a handle on this, before someone loses credit for a placement!

Thanks, Jim Bush
