I also bought a horse trailer so now I can actually haul him places and have decided to start to get him conditioned for mounted shooting games.
For those of you that don't know much about horses they have a pretty huge RUN button to anything that makes them nervous. Trees can become horse eating monsters for no reason other than a questionable rustle. So conditioning the animals takes some time to get them used to the noise.
This weekend since it is going to be 50F I am taking him to our farm and going to start working with him to sensitize him to the sound of gunfire. I have to get horse ear plugs which I'm ordering today, but its going to be a slow road that should hopefully take me a few weeks to get him used to. Hopefully.
There is a clinic at the end of March for mounted shooting that I really want to go to, hence why I'm trying to find the correct guns.
So yeah. This is my half ass journal for making a horse love gunfire and at the end mounted shooting.
