I have two SuperTucks (one for my Springfield XDm .40 S&W, and one for my Kimber 1911), and I agree with everyone else...it's a secure holster. As a matter of fact, until they get broken in it's tough to draw the weapon from the holster. I don't think you'll have any worries with it.

If "hairy moment" means a little crow hopping, I would think you would be fine. If "hairy moment" might mean a flying dismount into the brush, I'd think a retention strap would be in order. I used to mess with horses too, and they will surprise you (especially if they are surprised :)

As you know, hairy moments are all inclusive from the crow hop to the tumble onto pavement. My trail horse is 18hh so even mounting while on the trail (I use a ladder in camp) is not a smooth process. I have to hang a "cheater" through the saddle seat and step up, lay my belly across the seat, then "body hop" the rest of the way until I can swing a leg over. This particular maneuver is one I will try after I get the supertuck and see how it does.

Luckily, a horse the size of mine is not very nimble...........powerfull, but not nimble. So sudden leaps to the side or forward are definantly rideable.



This is NOT trick photography, he was standing nose to nose with the "normal" sized horse. As you can see, mounting from the ground is not just a matter of swinging your leg over.

18 hands - that's a lot of horse - what's his breeding?

Percheron, My wifes clydesdale is 17.0

That's what I thought. A million years ago I was a farrier. Those big breeds always were the easiest to work with, they had the best dispositions. Some good memories.

I now return the forum to its original intent :)

Happy trails
