It just doesn't sound plasuible- the original question. I'm not putting any energy into googling for that.

Actually, I googled the original idea before posting...
I couldn't find any citations at all.

I've been aware of the efforts to grow truffles in North Carolina... I'd been reading about it since the 80s... And in Europe, they fight the hogs for the find... I think the hog gets real excited... kind of obvious what he's found...
I guess, maybe put a chain attached to a collar, wrapped around the saddle horn? Back the horse up, and the hog gets pulled away from it's prize?
Doesn't sound real easy... is why they're teaching dogs to hunt truffle.
