how to rig a steadycam on a horse

I've heard a couple cautionary tales over the years regarding steadicam on horseback with endings like "and then we had to shoot the horse before phoning the insurance company". I advise caution and considerable research. Or better yet, alternate tools. The chance of it going sideways in a horrific way can be very high.

I've done it. I did not hard mount it, just sat on the saddle with the rig on. That being said, I knew how to ride well before I ever tried to ride with a sled. I roller blade with my rig as well (but again I was doing flips over cars and going backwards down 100 stair long flights long before I ever tried it with a rig). I'd say if your super comfortable doing the thing without the rig, you can probably judge for your self if it's safe with rig.

If your not, I agree, just find one of many alternate ways to do the shot.
