The ear plugs are necessary for horses. They don't have any fingers to stick in thier ears. Remember, you can always shoot off of any horse. Once. |

I shoot off of mine but not with my big rifle. I'll pop a grouse with a .22 or something and he's fine with it. I shot the magnum in front of him at a deer once. He ran my wife over in his haste to escape the end of the world. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't go any better if I was on his back.

Even ear plugs will not help if you do what my cousin did, he took a quick shot at a cottontail and removed about 2" of horse's ear.
Horse then removed my cousin from his back. Can't imagine why! Don |

Ear plugs are used in Cowboy Mounted Action shooting, where competitors often shoot right over the horse's ears. (They shoot at baloons at a gallop, using blanks.) In the old days, cavalrymen "broke" their horses to gunfire by shooting over their ears and deafening them. |

I don't shoot off my horses and darn sure not of my mules! Not unless you want to join the airborn without a parachute by golly. To do so is a mighty poor practice and very inconsiderate of the animal your aboard, not to mention you will blow out their hearing on the first shot no doubt.
