We had a buddy transfer to the Forest Service from the Midwest about 5 years ago. First day on the job he sent us a .pdf file with the how to instructions. Also volunteered for training for it.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Well you're not worried about the well being of the horse anymore so you could probably just use an axe beats having a dead horseshoe boomerang whistling back toward your spot. ETA crap just 4 posts later. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I like the instruction "horseshoes should be removed to minimize dangerous flying debris" Like how? With my handy dandy Leatherman horseshoe removal tool? ETA crap just 4 posts later. You use your Farrier's Axe. The spike is used to "humanely" kill wounded horses, and the axe blade to chop off their hoof bearing the regimental number. Still carried by the Household Cavalry.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Do you shoot them before you blow them up? Buddy I knew yrs ago that guided for western bear hunts said no. Take the old horse out, wrap in det cord or dynamite. Kaboom. Iirc he said it was easier to walk them to where you were going to bear hunt over their remains. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Is blowing up horses something that US Forestry is required to do frequently? Do you want a dead horse carcass next to a popular trail?

I had a draft horse die recently. I paid a guy to come get it. He said he grinds them up, composts them, and uses them as fertilizer on a sod farm. I thought it was fitting to turn the horse into grass.

Quote HistoryQuoted: take the hooves off with an axe Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I like the instruction "horseshoes should be removed to minimize dangerous flying debris" Like how? With my handy dandy Leatherman horseshoe removal tool? During my younger and drunker days, I associated with some "interesting" cowboys. One day I pulled into one of their places for our nightly beer drinking and I saw him heading to the pens with a chainsaw. I inquired what was going on and he replied one of his horses had to be shot (this was not unusual at this particular residence). I grabbed a beer and followed him to the pen. I asked about the chainsaw, since it would be easier to hook it up to the truck and drag it wherever. It turned out that he had a farrier class coming up and he was going to cut the legs off to have something to work on.  I told him "Wes, I think everyone else is going to bring the whole horse. That might not be a good idea". He thought about it, and conceded I was probably right. |

"Consult a qualified blaster when explosives are to be used."
"Horseshoes should be removed to minimize dangerous flying debris."  Awesome.ETA: Once again, it appears that my High School Guidance Counselor left out a few critical details in terms of career choices. If I had known that "Qualified Blaster" was on the table, my life would have taken a quite a different path. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Is blowing up horses something that US Forestry is required to do frequently? I know a guys that had to quarter his own horse with a chainsaw after it died in the Bob Marshall. 1.5 million acres of wilderness surely has a big population of wolves and bears to dispose of the carcass. I wonder if your guy had to pack it out? |

There’s a big wild cat sanctuary here in Indiana (exotic feline rescue center) that used to accept large animal carcasses like that for food for the lions and tigers. As long as the animal didn’t die because of or with a disease. As much as I like dynamite, I’d rather donate a dead horse to something that needs to eat anyway.

Quote HistoryQuoted: 1.5 million acres of wilderness surely has a big population of wolves and bears to dispose of the carcass. I wonder if your guy had to pack it out? I think the point is a horse that dies or needs to be put down out there is probably on a trail used by others either hiking or on horseback, too. They don't want to attract said bears and wolves to that spot where they'll associate it with a free meal and decide they need to take down something still living the next time. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: this. alot of people just don't understand. this is not the standard protocol for the usual yard pony. Given the difficulty and expense of disposing of the average dead horse (or cow), perhaps it should be the standard protocol, or at least a common option. It's environmentally friendly and supports the ecosystem, after all. Plus, you get to blow stuff up. |
