I would suggest you contact your local Animal Control and
see if they offer
a course of some kind.  Knowing exactly where to place the
bullet is
paramount so as not to accidently prolong an animals
suffering.  I have
never had to do that but have had several friends that have
a small hand gun
that they use when necessary.  However, they have
stipulated how important
it is to know exactly where to place the bullet.

Aside from a gun I would talk with my vet as to what he/she
can leave you
that will exact the same result.  There again - felling a
1000 pound horse
is not easy and you have to know what direction the horse
is going to fall.
There again instruction at a vet school might help.
