Just finished watching the Preakness Stakes and it made me curious. When you read books about the early days of hunting in Africa, much of the hunting was done on horseback. I realize that in large part that was because the hunting predated safari vehicles. But I was curious, is there an outfitter that does hunts on horseback? Mike | ||

I was trying to come up with an option for some of our more senior members . . . besides it would give you a chance to wear some of those chap thingamabobs. Mike | |||

Hunter ask his guide "can I shoot off this horse?" Guides says "yep." Hunter laying on the ground looks up & says "I thought you said I could shoot off that horse." Guide says "yeh, you can shoot OFF him, just not on him. LORD, let my bullets go where my crosshairs show. Not all who wander are lost. NEVER TRUST A FART!!! Cecil Leonard | |||

Agarob Hunting Safaris in Namibia does horseback hunting . Been there once and going back in Oct. looking for Oryx and Klipspringer for me and Mtn. Zebra for wife. The horses are docile and like mtn. goats. Tough hunting but thoroughly enjoyable. Also they are a family run operation and only take one group of hunters at a time.

I hunted with Agarob Safaris in Sept 2010 on horseback considered it to be my best trip in 4 times to Namibia.Johnny is a reloader so left my guns home and used his 300wsm on 15 animals no high fence either.Horses are well broke and tough in his rugged terrian. | |||

Mike, I hunted with a guy in RSA on my first two trips that does some hunts with horses. No DG involved in his horseback hunts. As an aside, I just got back today from the Idaho bear hunt. We used horses on 2 days there. It sure makes for a fun hunt IMO. | |||

Hey Mike Are you thinking of doing your lion hunt this August on horseback ( or are you just making plans for a quick retreat ? ) Can't wait to see your photographs ????? | |||

Hunted with Johnny 120 days last year and am going back for another 90 in October. Although most of the time we will be catching up on working his cattle. Although if I see a nice 60 inch kudu he might come home with me. Two of the girls are getting married and I will make one wedding, that ought to be a hoot. Horse back is the only way to hunt, here or over there. Shoot first. Never trust horses or women and very few mules. | |||

In terms of true wilderness adventure try a Horse back hunt in Asia. No one is going anywhere quickly or comfortably. Only true hunters need apply. A fabulous adventure, sitting in a 5 star African lodge does not compare.... | |||

Chris Troski does horseback hunts and he does a great job of running a safari. I have sent a bunch of friends to him over the past few years and they all have said great things. CT Safaris is a good place to plan a hunt with http://www.ct-safaris.com/ | |||

Sir George Grey hunted lions from horseback . Unfortunately for him the lions won on that occassion ..... I guess that means that at the end of the day , rich or poor , you end up as just so much lion scat in the wilderness.....  ________________________ Old enough to know better | |||

I am not going to pay for my hunt until I get home, that should keep Buzz in check and give him a vested interest in my survival. There is only one thing that he likes more than a good practical joke . . . money. Well maybe two things . . . scotch and money. Come to think of it three things . . . cigars, scotch and money. Oh yeah, and then there are ladies . . . or is it ladies lingerie . . . Mike | |||

I hunted in Namibia, one of the PH's had a pair of light horses he was training to harness that he was going to do old style hunts from a buckboard of some sort. A shot not taken is always a miss | |||

Buzz don't need no chap thingamabobs he has that green thing to wear. Just shows how tuff he is. Lets see one of you wear that thing all day on a horse!  Or wear it at all for that matter. LOL! Happiness is a warm gun | |||

This is so true. Nobody has ever got saddle sores or an aching butt from a padded chair or a Landcruiser. | |||

If you never got a sore butt from a 4x4 then you must hunt strictly on pavement---- SSR | |||

ever hear the story of the Princess and the pea????  I grew up horse back they are much easier on my body than a 4-wheel drive truck with solid tires and springs--not to mention getting sea-sick from worn out shocks----  Not to mention the headache when you drop a wheel in a hole and bounce your noggin off the roof---- SSR | |||
