Exposing Your Horse to Gunfire

Been asked many times how to train your horse for gunfire; never done it except for the occasional rifle shot while on the ground next to my horse. That's different from multiple gunshots off his back. Thought it would be the same as anything else,start small then build on each try. And thought I'd film it to show the horse getting sacked out and comfortable being close to gunfire.

"Horses only think about one thing - FOOD. How to get it, and how not to become it." LMAO!!!! Stealing that one!!!

@RYDERkN I do believe they make horse ear plugs. Of course, you would need to sack out the horse to these as well. Rick Gore has a sacking out video to horsey ear plugs on his YouTube channel if you care to look him up.

awesome thank you! you really show that you care about the comfort of your horse...not too many horsemen out there will. Im just starting into mounted shooting and your videos have me pumped!!

smokeless power helps because they will also fear movement.

I started with a 22 cal and worked uo to the 30/30.

I'm lucky, mine accepted the shooting real well.

The click of the hammer is a que to the shot.

No one should be afraid of sound, it never bites, kickes or hurts ya.

I can use my horse as as rest as I take aim and shoot.

He just doesn't mind at all. He thinks he's the one doing it....he,he.

Your method is right on.

How much does this damage the horses ears, because arent horses ears more sensitive than ours?
