Pat Riot Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 If you lived in the Old West during the period that you personify, like the most or reflected by the guns you shoot in Cowboy Action Shooting, what mode of transportation would you use in your current physical condition around town and country where you live? Horseback Buggy Wagon Taxi Train Walk Automobile (if you shoot a 97 ) Or any mode not mentioned here. Personally, I may have 2 modes. - Horseback (another horse would be the buggy horse) - Single horse buggy. What do you think you’d prefer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozark Huckleberry Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Interesting to note that until stream power was harnessed for transportation, people in the West had basically the same modes of transportation that the Romans had.

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Buggy. With good springs and a mounting stool to get into the seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry T Harrison Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Living in Amish country the preferred mode of transportation is a single horse buggy even for the teens. They ride quite well from their youth but usually only for fun. If it’s good enough for them it’s good enough for me . As an aside I watched a six year old riding his pony across the pasture at a full gallop bareback he was in complete control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Being an itinerant trader and freighter, I'd have a wagon with four mules for my wares and as a place to sleep and cart my cooking gear, and a saddle horse for getting around. Actually, because my business is growing so rapidly, I have six wagons and team, fifteen extra horses if needed and every one of my drivers has his own saddle horse with his own tack and duffle.

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Think about this peeps! With a horse only, how would you carry your groceries home?
