I have to disagree with you about the people who ride them for hunting get injured. I use horses every year, just like my dad and his dad have done. The worst thing that has happened was when one day dad was hunting alone and his horse decided he had had enough and headed back to camp while dad was glassing, that would be 12 miles back to camp, leaving dad on foot with his gear and no pack. More accident happen during a pack out due to inexperience with pack horses and how to properly load a horse with meat and horn. If you can handle a pack horse and the chores that come with them, then hunting horse back is nothing more than an enjoyable mountain trail ride.
