But there is one that I had forgotten about until recently.  I’m seriously considering getting me a pair of Ruger Vaquero’s in .45 Colt for Cowboy Mounted Shooting.  I’ve been wanting to give it a go since I saw it on a show on TV about 14 years ago.

I already have a quarter horse with about two years of reining training under it’s belt, and a place with plenty of room to practice.   Other than the holster rig, the equipment I’ll need to get is pretty minimal.

Now I just have to convince the wife that I need two more guns.  Hell, she’s been looking for an excuse to buy a new horse trailer.  Maybe we can “work something out”.
