I will have to work some with my horse in the dark and see how that goes. He is used to gun shots and has even had them fired off of his back. I will give him a refresher in that. My hunting partner's horse might take a little more work.

I hear ya on the higher elevation. It slows me down for the first few days also.

We will be hunting the first season so unless it gets really cold they should do ok but I will remember a blanket also.

We are not hunting Colorado this year so maybe next summer we can make a trip out to the Rabbit Ears and do some trail riding to see what we might need to work on.
