There's a reason why cowboys wear pistols .
Yep.
My great-uncle in Alberta was dragged by a horse more than once.
On one occasion, Great-Unc was being dragged and bouncing along the ground.
He used all five shots from his Colt Peacemaker to "persuade" his horse to stop - and the horse still ran for one or two hundred yards before expiring because of adrenaline.
I rode a horse once that tried to saw my right leg off by running along a barb wire fence, getting closer and closer.
No more horse riding in my future!
