More Pistol Training

We set up a pistol course tonight and ran the boys through. Some horses are doing well and some not so well. We set one of the jumps at about 2 ft with two targets immediately after. We found it hard to clear a jump that high and still have enough balance and control to hit targets. Slower horses did better at this than faster horses. Clearing the low jumps and hitting targets was no problem. We also used tiny little balloons and short rounds (1/3rd load) which made it all much more challenging. I figure if we can hit tiny balloons with short rounds we will do okay in the competition with full size balloons and full loads.
