[ QUOTE ] yes, absolutely I went once last year so think I would qualify. Was great fun, Frank had a lovely time and can't wait to hopefully go more this year and hopefully jump a bit more. oh and have my trailer test now so can get myself there too! [/ QUOTE ] Brilliant, glad you had fun

[ QUOTE ] Sounds good, thanks for letting us know charleymay. Will look at the countryside alliance website next week, will vale of aylesbury or surrey union be on there as these would be my local hunts? [/ QUOTE ] I think both of those hunts are very keen to take part

[ QUOTE ] In theory I would love to take my baby horse hunting but 1. I have a bad back and can't jump, so I can only do it if all the jumps are optional. 2. I've done "introductory, children and beginners hunts" on other horses and they were organized chaos. Lots of people out of their depth...

[ QUOTE ] There needs to be an 'other'! Selected yes because I would if I had a horse to try it on as have never been before; a) because of having no such suitable horse and b) I would need an easier day with optional jumps etc as opposed to jumping in at the deep end as it were and c) the cost...
