I discovered that working working with Blessi that he enjoyed all of this especially if there were carrots involved. Here is one of the series of videos put out by Ashmoor Horse Archers about getting your horse ready for mounted shooting. And remember that you can get a toy bow and arrow for about $6. (A real Hun or Mongol horse bow costs around $250 and up.)
As a little girl, I always wanted a pony for Christmas. Santa never brought me a pony. So in my late 40s, I started taking horseback riding lessons. When I turned 50, I got my first horse, an Icelandic named Blessi (Veigar frá Búðardal). Little did I know how much fun life with an Icelandic was going to be. Blessi has a unique perspective on life. I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I enjoy Blessi. And you will probably read about my cats from time to time.

Preparing your horse for mounted archery
There is a lot of prep work to get your horse ready for mounted archery. The horse has to be desensitized to the sound of the bow, arrows whizzing by, arrow hitting or missing the target. Plus since you need both hands to shoot the bow, you need to be able to guide your horse with your seat and legs.
