    I hunted the maungatuas on horse for reds and the odd pig.

    As the guys have said, you must have a horse that is completely, thoroughly and utterly bomb proof. I shot from the saddle on occasions, on a dropped rein, but that horse was exceptional.

    If you’re in Tussock country you need a horse that does know to look for holes in the ground. Some are oblivious

    Lots of work getting the horse used to blood and the unexpected noise of gunshot. I certainly wouldn’t even consider it an option with an unknown horse, full stop.
