Get to know your horse. There is nothing that can replace riding experience. Know your abilities and your horse's limits. In a saber melee, keep the saber tip up! Do not point or thrust. Maintain close contact with your opponent- turning your horse to the right. Use regular Cream of Wheat or vermiculite over the top of powder in revolvers. Wonder-wads, toilet tissue, etc. can travel 25 yards and ignite clothing. Never aim directly at anyone. Cartridges should contain no more than 65 grains of powder ( National Park Service requirement). They should never be taped, glued or stapled. Use a surcingle. All troopers are required to be present at weapons inspection. Always tie a horse by the lead strap. Never tie a horse by the reins. When in formation, speed shall not exceed a controlled canter. We are not in a race. |
