Cash was like that too - in all his jumping career, he only ever refused a fence once. I really do prefer to ride horses who WANT to jump and are willing to try, even if they're not so certain. They make the best eventers!<br /><br />Rat shot is a round of ammo that's used to shoot rats. It's a scatter shot of very small pellets. If the huntsmistress can't get the dogs off their quarry (usually a rabbit or a deer), she'll pepper them with rat shot. The pellets sort of bounce off the hounds - I imagine it stings, but they don't seem to have any lasting effects. The thing is, she ONLY wants the hounds to follow coyote scent, so we always dissuade the hounds from going after anything else.jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204283740895921092.post-81956060088414461572012-08-06T08:55:45.921-05:002012-08-06T08:55:45.921-05:00We actually *chase* coyotes, never kill them. Othe...We actually *chase* coyotes, never kill them. Otherwise there wouldn't be anything for next week! Unfortunately, there are a bunch of jackrabbits out right now that throw the dogs off the coyote scent, which is not optimal.<br /><br />Yeah, I can't wait for next Sunday either!jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204283740895921092.post-45592459284778491202012-08-06T06:36:16.458-05:002012-08-06T06:36:16.458-05:00That was cool!

He really is game, isn't he?<br /><br />What is rat shot? <br /><br />I can imagine a few things, but rodents flying through the air to get the hounds' attention seems unlikely. ;)Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204283740895921092.post-23212001097484665862012-08-05T20:03:12.694-05:002012-08-05T20:03:12.694-05:00Thought it was coyotes you hunted?
