Agtman, just curious, but what does YOUR personal experience around horses consist of? How many hours have you spent in the saddle? How many horses have you broke to ride? How many years have you spent in the company of horses? If your experience in these areas are lacking, you can't really have a clue as to what you are talking about, beyond conjecture. Conjecture is fine, but I'll take real-world experience about what happens rather than taking a guess as to what I think might happen. I know horses can be conditioned to gunfire. Others, who have also conditioned horses to gunfire, have echoed the same. Yet, you keep inferring we are somehow wrong, based on apparently what you THINK will happen? I'm just trying to find the basis for your opinions. It seems silly to have such a strong opinion on something you haven't tried that compels you to tell others it can't be done. You dismiss other's as ""Custer wanna-bes" but have offered no info as to what makes *your* opinion any more valid?
