The "keep the rifle on ya back while handling" is an interesting point.. I guess its not necessarily all about the sound, but also the introduction of a strange and unfamiliar object that also has the unfamiliar smell of burnt powder..

that's how tall he was he was huge and a big clobber footed bloke
Well we used to use him for anything pigging ,shooting ,swimming I mean everything you could bring pigs home alive across his neck
but if you were riding him along loaded up and a little grass bird or quail moved in front of him he could shy side ways 3m in one stride
Leaving you sitting on your butt on the ground and him standing looking down at you boy could he cover ground when spooked and sideways
Every body on the station had at some stage been dumped by him yet he had never bucked even when he was broken in, beautiful natured horse
They used him to sort out all the new young know it all ringers dumped and the horse didn't even buck they usually kept their trap shut after that
