A good rest after the week. Had a good number of camps, there was supposed to be a ground breaking ceremony Saturday, but that was canceled in leiu of the events Tuesday. We did put a couple of wooden boxes in the middle of the field and put lanterns on it, it looked nice. One couple from Canada, that usually bring a canon and firearms thought better and left those behind. None of the Canadians had trouble coming into the country. This couple did bring red, white and blue ribbon and made small rosettes that they gave away, accepting donations. The $120 over cost of the ribbon they had was donated to the Red Cross. That was very nice and appreciated. - ---------------------- hist_text list info: http://www.xmission.com/~drudy/mtman/maillist.html ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2001 16:58:02 -0500 From: Lee Newbill Subject: Re: MtMan-List: Horses & Gunfire Lee wrote:

Wynn...

This list has always been a sort of therapy for me.... It allows me to turn for a while from the cares of the world to a "quiet" spot in my mind. I think it is good to talk of something else beside the tragedy of last week for a bit.

On horses and getting them used to gunfire... my concerns are with them just getting used to gunfire so they won't head for parts unknown when a gun is fired nearby. Wouldn't think about trying to shoot off of the back of one. The shooting platform they provide is too unstable, and I've heard too many stories of horses moving at the wrong time when the trigger was squeezed.... like raising their head into the muzzle of the gun... not pretty.

I did go out on Friday and work a bit with them.... fed 'em dinner and then sat and worked the trigger of my flinter... that went Ok... so I switched to dropping the hammer on the frizzen.... that didn't go so well with the big gelding, but the mare and the yearling stood for it. I finally got the gelding to quit running everytime I dropped the hammer... so I tried a pinch of powder in the pan. A very small pinch. The first time it went well, no one even twitched... so I primed the pan normally and dropped the hammer again. I guess the gelding wasn't looking the first time. I thought I was going to have to replace about 30 feet of barbed wire fence, and spend the rest of the day patching the big guy up. Fortunately, the fence held, and the gelding switched course after bouncing off the fence.

How have the list members with horses familiarize their mounts and
packstock with gunfire?

I'm not sure he'll ever get used to guns going off, at least not without a great deal more work.
I'll have to try something different with him. The rest of the horses don't seem to mind it much, which is a good thing.

Go in Peace
