HORSES The Wild Sport Of Mounted Shooting By Emily Fought | March 27, 2020 Share Mounted shooting is an exciting sport that is gaining in popularity! Riders navigate their horse through a shooting pattern. In modern events, blank ammunition is used to pop balloons within 20 feet. Depending on the rider’s skill level, they may gallop through the course! This discipline requires both exceptional horsemanship and shooting abilities. It’s so much fun to watch.
