   I think you’re loving it just as much as she is! I can’t wait to see what the trainer does for Patriot so you can both go riding together.

   That video gives me the willies. Where was he aiming? The horse is fantastic, but…he really should have better control over his firearm than that.

   That said, if we were staying in this area by the time I’m ready to purchase a horse, I’d seriously consider one of his horses. We’re hunters and some of our hunting takes place in areas where we either hike in or ride in on horseback. Would be nice to have a horse that isn’t gun shy.

   Love the smile on Morgan’s face! I lived on a farm in Missouri when I was a kid and my greatest delight was to ride my cousin’s cow-checking horse, Sugarfoot, when she was staying on our side of the farm. No saddle, no bridle, just bareback with a rope harness. There is nothing like the feeling of being on a good horse with the world to explore.

   Not to worry falnfenix – they use weird blanks/black powder to fire off the horses. There is a whole sport dedicated to this called Cowboy Mounted Shooting – you can watch an example here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iihCQlPFIMk

   Glad your horse is doing so well!

   Morgan looks so happy!

   In the video, it looks like that’s a gaited horse. Is that right?

    whaledancer, yes, Rocky Mountain horses are gaited horses. That is a Rocky Mountain in the video.

    @Bells – thanks for the clarification. I’m a stickler for “knowing your target and what is beyond it,” so the idea of shooting every which-a-way is completely foreign to me.

    I was under the impression that Cowboy Mounted shooting used wax bullets, though. Apparently I was wrong. I appreciate the education…now, I have more research to do.

    This is bugging me, I can’t help but wonder if this is the same Mike Trader that graduated from Nitro High School in 1979. I graduated in 1981 and didn’t actually know him, but remember the name.
