<\/a>It wasn\u2019t a typical 911 call: last fall, a horseback rider wandered into Whitetail Woods Regional Park and became lost. Then his horse fell through a boardwalk and got stuck in the mud.<\/p>\n

The caller reported his location using an eight-digit number found on a nearby trail post. First responders located him quickly and saved the horse, said Randy Knippel, geographic information system manager for Dakota County.<\/p>\n

For Knippel, it\u2019s a success story demonstrating the value of emergency location markers, a system he\u2019s encouraged county parks to implement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
