Hmm. Maybe they do, but I'd be nervous to be a horse.  It seems like the recommended remedy for a long list of horse ailments is to shoot the horse in the head.

If they have the shooting rights(permision writen or verbaly from the land owner) then yes they may shoot. There most be a reason for you posting this question, eather your worryed or something has happend. Any responsible shooter  would take your horses presance into consideration ie where they choose to drive the birds too to shoot them (beating) or where the horses are when they discharge there guns.\nA suggestion is you approach the person whom has the shooting right and adderss the worrys you have concerning your horses, they will more than likely be happy to hear your comments and take them on board, If not address the land owner.\nBest of luck

The western saddle is larger than the english saddle.  To address the answers already given, here is some more specific information as to the differences in each saddle's design.\n\nOkay, the highest quality english saddles and western saddles are both built on wood frames, or "trees".  On cheap saddles, the frames can be made of fiber-glass.  The english saddle is designed to have a closer contact with the muscles in the horse's back, especially the dressage and all-purpose saddles.  The jumping saddle or "close contact" saddle is designed with specially padded flaps to help the rider stand up in the saddle, making it possible to free up the horse to clear the jumps.\n\nThe western saddle has more padding between the horse's back and the rider.  It is designed for when the cowboys would typically spend the entire day in the saddle, so it had to have a larger, more padded seat to make it more comfortable to ride.  It also has a larger skirt (the area around the seat of the saddle) with straps so that the rider could tie all his gear onto the saddle.  He would be able to carry saddle bags, his bed roll, canteen, etc.  The english saddle is not equipped for this use.  The horn on the western saddle is designed for roping cattle.  When the cowboy throws the lasso and ropes the calf, he (or she) will then wrap the lasso around the horn once or twice.  This reduces the amount of strength needed to control the calf once you have it lassoed.\n\nAs for pack saddles, they are saddles that are designed specifically for hauling gear, and not really carrying a rider.  They're basically a frame for spreading the weight of packs and bags over more of the horse's back so they don't get sore or tired as quickly.\n\nFinally, there are specialty saddles that are similar to english saddles.  There is the "gaited horse saddle" that is like an english saddle, but it is made so that the rider sits back further on the horse's back and allows more freedom of movement in the horse's shoulders, making it easier for the horse to peform the high-stepping gaits their breeds are known for.  There is the "racing saddle", which is a very cut-down version of an english saddle.  It does not have a wood tree, and is mainly something on which to hang stirrups.\n\nFinally, there is the "Aussie Saddle" which is like a hybrid between an english and a western saddle.  The seat looks much like an english saddle, but it has more of a pronounced front and back (pommel and cantle, respectively).

I am only 23 but I have been riding for over 17 years now and I hope to still be riding when I am in my 50's! Congratulations to those of you ( men included) who take up riding in the later years. It is one thing to start riding when you are a little daredevil of a child but to be an age where you know what the risks are really involved is something else indeed!. Yes Peruvian Pasos are a very smooth ride. If it is one that you think you want to buy or at least try, make sure that it is one that is a little older as he probably will have been trained a lot more and knows what he is supposed to do. Tennessee Walking Horses are also very smooth. Finding a gaited breed of horse will be of your best interest as they having smoother gaits than the jarring trot and even the canter. I know that as a 23 year old I am really starting to feel just how bad the trot really can be. It requires a lot of work to counteract the jar of it and riding the canter can be hard on your body with certain horses. Best of Luck on finding a horse for you. I hope you find a partner that will last a long time.

Use the same aid as you would for canter.  Once you are cantering you will need to push your horse alot more to get it in to a gallop.

one option might be to give her a series of riding lessons. due to insurance the old style riding stable is getting scarce and not all of the ones left are safe. find a tack shop [saddle and other horse equip] or a feed store and ask them if they know any good lesson stables nearby. you might also check uspc.org for the nearest pony club to you and ask the contact person listed for suggestions. i've known too many first time riders that were scared away because of a bad experence at a trail ride stable. besides she will learn almost nothing about either horses or riding at one. its just get on, hang on and follow the leader. at a training stable she will learn the how and why. be warned however- CONTACT BETWEEN HORSES AND 10 YEAR OLD GIRLS CAN BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR WALLET!!! its often love at first sight and before you know it you may become a horse owner. however there are much worse things for your girl to be involved in. been there, done that, got the empty checkbook to prove it. take your camera, you will not believe the smiles.
