There is a new concept being used and studied by many across the world, it is the Air Scenting Detection Equine.
Air Scenting is a search tool used for detection work.
Horses are trained to follow airborne scent to its source, which could be a missing person, narcotics, etc.
The scenting horse only goes into the scent locating mode when given special cues, otherwise it can double as a patrol, family riding or show horse.
If you are interested in this form of training in the local area, contact the volunteer mounted patrol. 606-742-9559
