    Hunting!

    I'm pretty sure it's the mid Somerset hunt I haven't spoke about it too much yet as I need to get the horse a new saddle and bridle before I go (needed a new saddle anyway) thank you for all your info! I'm 18 so would I wear tweed or black? Do you know what they're like with 'naughty' horses? I...

    Yes but once has spun he won't go back around the thing I'm most worried about on the road is him slipping over he has spun once an gone down in his knees where he slipped, I've thought about road studs But not sure if they would actually work. At the moment he is in a Dutch gag just as we...
