I need to upload some more videos (riding on the limber after the battle):D

Here, before we totally hijack the hobbit thread.:D

Regarding your horse, if your horse can pass the field test, then you can bring your horse out. Every once in a while, we have a horse get spooked and throw the rider.

Good idea.

Poorly-trained horses. What's the field test?

I believe it tests to see if you can control your horse and your horse won't freak out from the noise-commotion.

He's okay with small-arms. Not so sure about cannons, since he's never seen one. Are there classes or something one might attend to desensitize equines to cannons?

Here are the rules:

....straight from the horse's mouth...:haha::har::haha:

Still looking over all that but so far I don't have any problem with it.

Respect for the pun, btw.

So when do I expect to see you out here then?:D:hmmm:

Your horse has a gray jacket, right?

I could use you for our big paintball supergame, at the end of the month.:D

Later than I'd like but sooner than never. My dad and I have been discussing this for years. We've always wanted to join a Civil War re-enactor unit, and even says he'll pay for the uniforms and such. On the off-chance that he actually does it, I hope you have slots open for infantry or artillery, because he is a terrible horseman and there is no way he is going to pass any of the tests.

Regardless, I'll probably start with a unit closer to home, maybe the 7th Texas cavalry.

He doesn't now, but he's going to get one. What, you think I'd fight for the damnyankees?

Wish I could make it, but one month is not enough advance notice for my employer, especially since I already requested my vacation for September. It would be nice, though. I had a great time last go-round, minus Dan kicking my ass twice. ****ing Airsoft players:damn:
