Published: 10/15/2018

On Wednesday October 17, 2018 the Riverside County Sheriffs Aviation Unit and Riverside City Fire Horse and Animal Rescue Team (H.A.R.T.), will conduct a joint training at the Hemet-Ryan Airport in Hemet. This training, which will take place between 9:00am and 4:00pm, will consist of simulated horse rescues with H.A.R.T. personnel, Sheriffs Aviation Unit personnel and helicopters (S.T.A.R. 9), along with a replica horse. The replica horse is meant to simulate the weight and characteristics of a live animal, without putting any animals in harm’s way as it is carried via the Anderson Sling (www.andersonsling.com).
