For those of us who receive Modern Arabian Horse, the latest issue had an exciting article about Cowboy Mounted Shooting. Well, check this out! I've been to a couple of these events with my family and we really had a good time. Here's the message forwarded to me by the Bay County Horseman's Association:


On Sept 27th starting at 4 p.m. at the Washington County Equestrian Center, we will be holding our first Cowboy Mounted Shooting event. We are located just off Hwy 77 in Greenhead, FL, north of Hwy 20, south of I-10 on Daniels Lake Road (right behind the Washington County prison) just past the Rainbow store on Hwy 77. Ed and Kathi Kilpatrick from Sneads, FL, will be our hosts. They are with the Panhandle Peacemakers, one of the largest growing cowboy mounted shooting clubs in the Southeast. You can check out more about mounted shooting online, it is really growing and we are excited. Gate will be $5.00. Love to have you all there, pass the word, come watch and enjoy. Any questions please call.

We saw a demonstration of cowboy mounted shooting a couple years ago at the Iowa Horse fair and my husband was aw struck. He would love to do this, my husband is an avid gun collector and hunter. His biggest problem is he doesn't ride... not that he doesn't want to, I just need to get our older mare saddled up and give him some "lessons".

He really got excited when he noticed that one of the horses in the article (in modern arabian horse) was a Bey Shahn son.... and we have a 2 year old Bey Shahn daughter biggrin.gif

We don't know how to get involved in this or where to find anyone close to us. We would love to go watch these events more often if we could find some.... sigh

In the quiet light of the stable, you hear a muffled snort, the stamp of a hoof, a friendly nicker. Gentle eyes inquire, "How was your day old friend?" and suddenly all your troubles fade away.

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

I wish my horses were "gun broke" but I no longer know anyone who knows how to do this type of training. The feral pigs are really a problem in this area. I have been told that hunting them on horseback is really the best way to go about it.

Jacinta, if you poke around on the Cowboy Mounted Shooting webpage you can find clubs and dates for rides IA Cowboy Mounted Shooting
The brief conversations that I've had with shooters, they say if you can pop a whip off the horse then you've got a good start at training. I think the hardest thing is for people to trust their horse enough to let go of the reigns. We tend to forget that our legs and seat are the most important things when riding. If you have a horse that will let you crack a whip and move off your le I'd say you're ahead of most! LOL!

We have lots of wild hogs out here too. People use pit bulls to hunt them. About 2 months ago we had to go to my boyfriend's mom's house b/c a wild hog got their potbellied pig p/g - she had a litter and we got to bring one of the babies home. biggrin.gif
I've been on lots of trail rides when we've scared hogs up, more than deer! I'm always affraid my Catahula will get into it with a hog though. I keep thinking of the scenes from Old Yeller....

I have a buddy who was a past national champion at this. He totally disdains Arabians, so you can imagine how much I rubbed it in his face when Horse Illustrated published an article of a young WOMAN who was winning nationally on an ARABIAN in this event! HAAAAAA AH LUV IT! If I shot a gun around any of my ponies and I was MOUNTED at the time, I truly WOULD be visiting Shannie in MINNAH SOWDAH!

He is stunning! I don't like to promote breed prejudice but I always like to encourage Arabian owners to get out there and do anything they can to show the other breeds just what our horses are capable of!

Interesting that this lady and her CHAMPION MOUNTED SHOOTING ARABIAN stallion were not even mentioned. Let me shut up, jabs rhino tranq into thigh.
