Hi *waves* I think he's light but not appalling.. as you said previously you are going to up/change his feed that should help, plus new grass.. He hasn't hunted all that much this season though has he ? (I could be confused - been out 6/7 times ? ) but I know you go on long 'ol hacks and do a...

[ QUOTE ] As i said to somebody else, if your looking in Sussex then i recommend either Emma at Clip Clop Traders or Nadine at Prestwood Farm.. i highly rate both of them. [/ QUOTE ] Or you could buy direct from source and save yourself some ££!

Ever had a gallop on previously or jumped more than one or two small things on ? My hacking friend wants to hunt her horse (her first horse, her & his first hunt) but she has never had more than a little controlled canter on him in the field and popped one or two small fences.. I think...

Their country is around Mullingar/Athlone (right in the Midlands!)

Ellifiz - I'm going out with the Streamstown Harriers .. been out with the Wards, Bray, Tipp and Meath many moons ago :)

Just wondering - I'm Southern Ireland, Co Westmeath :)

I would too please. I mostly lurk though.. is that ok ?

Stan is a TB - just under 17hh - he's a mediocre doer in Winter and a good doer in Summer. He's fed Adlib hay, Speedibeet and Alfa Oil with Pink Powder in Winter and nothing in the summer. I voted for agree with YO and do whatever she says as I am the YO I'm kind but firm. No silly buggers...

90kph winds and driving rain put paid to my hunting plans (yes, I'm a wuss but there was no way I was taking green horse out first time in that!) Did go watch the die-hard maniacs that did go though with a friend and we had a lovely time (in her jeep!) She got some lovely pics that I'll upload...

After all dithering about hunting yesterday - 90km/h winds here this morning have put paid to any hunting methinks.. I was terrified but really looking forward to it.. Bum. Echo advice above re viewing - I wouldn't neccessarily be keen to view in this wind .. rain no prob.. wind - no ta!

I love them.. brilliant for helping muscle development, cadence and balance.. (and vastly cheaper than a "proper" pessoa!) Wouldn't be without mine.

Thanks Sonnet! I'll be trying hard not to puke on poor Stanny but guarantee nothing! You are doing well so far I thought! 2 years isn't a long time tbh after an injury like that.. You'll be fine! I'm not brave - simply stupid

A good sized flask of Percy Special will be attending with me! And several hot ports will be had for good measure! (The owner of our local, where the meet is, makes a "Hunting Port" too.. Hot port with a shot of sloe gin in! I'll be having that!)

[ QUOTE ] I am watching this with interest. Have had a couple of months of following a fall resulting in a pin in my arm following 3 days in hospital. So am having a bit of a wibble of my, own hoping to get the ok next week (after 10 weeks!). I am sure once you get to the meet the nerves will...

Sadly I have no-one to come with me mounted but the hunt I belong to are super supportive and thrilled I am finally making it out - they are a great crowd and will look after me The close call with the canal is a bit :eek: ! Hopefully Stanny will behave himself, he's usually very laid back...
