Yes not long to go.. enjoyed the Tiverton Foxhounds 10 mile fun-ride today, felt like all the work riding each evening has paid off and our first trip to the DSSH next Saturday id going to be a fun day now that the horses are run up, I hear a rumour TVFH are on hound exercising and the season...
There isn't many livery yards in North Devon its all small scale stuff or yard share, what facilities are you after? you will find a stable and grazing but might struggle for flood lit school etc. which side of Bideford will you be and i might be able to help, i used to have my horses in...
i was very fortunate to have a few away days last season and one of the most notable differences whilst out hunting was the change in "standard" tack?

I defiantly won't look like a...
Iv paid the £50 and had them sent of to Busy Bees in Newmarket to be done properly...
Will see if they can stretch them 2-3CM at the top on their special machine?
I am a traditionalist as well but I'm starting to think that hunting needs to move slightly with the times, do we really need to be ringing hunt sec's on a Friday night to see what colour hunt coat one should wear behind the master on a Saturday lawn meet? some of the black 'jackets' people wear...
Well iv been hunting for a little while, 22 years'ish... and have been lucky to hunt with a number of packs; Cotswold, Stevenstone, Torrington Farmers,Tetcott and a couple of crazy days with the Heythrop when it was lucky enough to have Julian there. Iv decided that I'm entering a mid life...
