Just wondering if any of you guys hunt hogs on horses . Got some young horses I have thought about using and was curious on how to get them used to hog hunting . Was worrired when we got to a bay that the horse would be uneasy and scared . I always work my colts on dragging something behind them , but never a squeling pig . Any ideas that would be helpful . Thanks

We ride mules. They have been packed on for years with elk and mule deer so there used to the blood. We usually make a two pole drag and put the hog on it and bring it out alive. We don't ride up real close to the bay, just tie the mules and walk in. Need a bulldog that will stay with you until you tell him to catch hard to lead one off a horse. I've used horses in the past some were ok with it.

dont get em used to it ,just get you some SOON TO BE EX BUDDIES and tell they are broke to hunt off and let the rodeo begin,   . most of mine i just put a small pen of hogs up in the paSTURE with em .and they get used to the smell .work a dog or 2 on em outside the pen while your mounted and they usually come around pretty quick. |

We dont ride right up to the bay. I bought me a rope halter that I put under the bridle. Ive got a good tie down that is tied to the halter. Im off an running within a second. We change an release more than we take out but if we catch a good barr Ill drag it out to a 4wheeler trail are something. I had a horse I could tie the hog or deer across the saddle an lead her out of the woods.
If your horses aint used to being around your dogs pick you up an ol'town dog an put it in the trailer with your horse.lol See how the horse acts around it. He may get a kick out of it.

Sure good video, like the way the horse was watching the pig, couple more videos show them shooting off the horse at a loose boar bay, to heck with riding a horse or mule that you tie back from the bay up, while you do that your dog gets killed or the hog runs off and you cant find the horse to follow, nice lil red cracker horse for sure, check out the other links, one has a rat terrier at a hog baylol |

Mississippi i have been hunting horseback for a long time. some horses will take a hog running thru there legs and others will want to run off if they smell a hog. best thing is to just go at it and adjust as needed i ride up were i can see the bay then walk in. i use a shock collar to train my catch dogs to stay with me till they here a bay then they split. good luck |

Thanks for all the advice . I will try a little of all of it . I did see the videos on utube , and they are pretty cool . I was wondering what those horses were goin to do whe those pigs ran under their feet . lol . It was a shock to me they were steady and calm . I have seen horses that wouldnt even load in a trailer that has hauled hogs before . This arto be a fun process .lol. Thanks again . |

On young horses, I would suggest riding them down real good before I hunted off of them. Worked horses tend to be less flighty. And take them to the bay with an old nag who doesn't spook from anything because a young horse will take cues from the lead horse. IMO

We hunt just like Craig... Make the bulldog follow the horse, until we ride into a bay, carry the little ones and drag the bigger ones. Keeping new bulldogs from wanting to catch a horse is always fun!! 3 yr old Dry Doc grandson...  4 yr old Two Eyed Jack gelding I'm just now getting broke....  |

Hoghunter101 has some really good videos on YouTube. The one where they chase the hog all the way across a huge palmetto flat and rope two hogs is fairly impressive.

Colby, thanks for the pics . Ive got a Blue Valentine bred mare Im gonna use . She is nice had her green broke half way or so at the beginning of summer and work kept me from riding , I saddled her saturday and she picked up were she left off . I think she will do good on hogs . Nothing seems to bother her to bad . But she is young and you never know . Im gonna start leading some dogs off of her and tying her close by when I let the pups bay . Thanks again for the advice .

My uncles prolly would but never tried it. I'm not that good in a saddle to try it. Guy we used to know hunted off a mule that could smell hogs and would go to them. Then he would shoot between the mules ears. No dogs needed.
