Wouldn't mind a nice hide as well, but as a wild animal would expect mark and scaring.

As was said some horses never settle at all

However, I did train an Australian stock pony I used to have many years ago with intent to shoot bunnies with the 22lr. With the right horse it's actually not overly difficult. My brother had a stock whip and used to muck around in the paddock near the horse, and the horse didn't give a rats a_ _. After watching too many cowboy movies as a kid the idea took hold. Within a couple of weeks my brother could crack his stock whip on the horse. I then started shooting the 22 standing progressively closer and closer to the horse until he didn't do more than flick his ears at the shot. That took a couple of months mucking around only once or twice a week (my parents would have gone spare if they knew what we were up to). Then I got on the horse with my brother holding the halter and prepared myself to fall off but didn't even get a reaction from the horse. It was heaps of fun but I missed more than I hit. Never had a centrefire back then so didn't have a chance to try that.

That must make life easier. Cute bunnies, fine, fluffy little baby goats, fine, Bambi, fine, but what would happen to me if I even mentioned I was thinking of shooting a horse... I don't even want to think about it.
