Learn "pony riding" for SOFs

Yes, even SOFs should master riding. In the picture you can see a member of the 7. Special Forces Group (Airborne) leading a mule through the Humboldt Toiyabe National Forest (Nevada) as part of the SOF Horsemanship Course at the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center.

The purpose of the horsemanship course is to teach SOFs the necessary skills to ride horses, load pack animals, and care for the animals even in the most remote and hostile areas of the world.
