A decade-plus of guiding off horses and mules, distilled into a Q&A with Vince who is going on his first horseback elk hunt. Cliff doesn't sugarcoat it: horses are always a cost, sometimes a massive advantage, and never the shortcut people think they are.
In this episode:
Why packing horses is something you do after you have horse experience — not how you get into it
Buying and culling stock: why disposition beats conformation every time
The "herd effect" — using seasoned animals to settle green ones in the mountains
Hobbles, picketing, hot fence, and why you never leave halters on turned-out shod horses
Sawbuck vs. Decker, crupper, cinches, blankets, and loading meat solo
Trail etiquette, saddle soreness, knife carry, tying up, and trucks/trailers on ice
