    Complete beginner at hunting

    Hello missalv! I went for the first time this October through the CA Newcomers Meet, and went again in main season at the end of November. It was *wonderful*, and I was very lucky to have a friend, but she won't be able to come out again in the New Year so I'm starting to wonder the same as you...

    Best way to progress as a rider

    Hello Irish! I am in exactly the same position as you (this is my first post on H&H in fact). I started riding again last October after a few years off (and way more years before that) and really want to get beyond just trundling around a school not progressing. What I've found absolutely...
