Drone SAR for Lost Dogs - looking for missing horses too

[JillA]

This is a group on Facebook where drone enthusiasts use their skills searching for lost dogs. I have just suggested they could also search for missing horses - often the supposedly "stolen" ones have escaped and got stuck in hedges, wire or ditches. They are happy to extend to that and liaise with the police - the problem is making horse owners aware. I have linked them to Horsewatch, any other ideas how to find out when an equine has gone missing?

What a brilliant idea Jill. So many go missing and are hidden out of sight from the ground.

This is a good idea, however operators need to be aware of the law regarding the operation of drones, particularly in regards to the proximity of people and any buildings.

They do - they are experts in the legalities - visit the group and you will see. Can any Horsewatch members or contacts make their local branch aware please
