Training a horse to accept gunfire is a lot like training a dog for it,
except that I think that horses accept it easier in many cases. You
start at a distance and shoot until the horse is comfortable with the
noise. You keep doing this until you can stand very close to the animal
and fire without too much difficulty. With a horse, being on his back is
a different matter, and you have to just be careful. Some horses never
accept it, and some horses don't flinch at all. Just watch his
reactions. Good luck, and don't get runover. Be careful
