    Kentucky 5*

    Mystery solved - the nice man from H&C TV told me that the sub via Prime does not give you access to live sports (wish that had been clear when I paid). So in order to watch any live stream you have to subscribe via H&C itself. So I have now paid again and can stream the 5* at least. Doh...

    Kentucky 5*

    Any tips? Have paid to subscribe and it recognises me and am watching via the web, but only 'live' event is with some one called Andre Digswell. No mention of Kentucky apart from past years. Can't find any sort of useful online help :)

    How long does it take to 'make' a hunter?

    Thanks everyone, loads of helpful observations and tips. Seems obvious, but I've also noticed my boy is more chilled if I'm calmer and have enough to eat on a hunting day!

    Good point re getting fitter and fitter, plus I've noticed the usual difference with a fresh clip!

    How long does it take to 'make' a hunter?

    Would people say it is best to just keep going during the day, given some periods where he is calm and stands, or better just to do a couple of hours regardless of how he is and then come home? Our hunt is quite small and quiet anyway which is good and we are avoiding all high days. I haven't...

    Thanks for replying - managing the exuberance and limiting the negative situations seems to be key

    How long does it take to 'make' a hunter?

    Yes I think you're right - but it is hard not to get wound up yourself when the horse is dancing about. Do you think your ISH is settling now?

    How long does it take to 'make' a hunter?

    Thanks again - yes I think the boxing out to hack is a good idea. We do go out for small comps and lessons as well as arena hire but he was very very green to hack when we first got him - has only relatively recently got used to cantering upsides anyone and either going in front or behind. But...

    How long does it take to 'make' a hunter?

    Many thanks both, yes I think we are on the right lines re keeping out of trouble and negative situations. And his schooling and balance are coming on well. Except I have been in a dilemma whether to keep him going til he naturally 'tires' (ie hopefully settles) or to take him home at half...

    How long does it take to 'make' a hunter?

    As per the title really. Am interested in people's experiences in how long it has taken them from introducing a youngish horse to hunting, to feeling like they know their job (ie stand when necessary, queue to ditches and fences, walk and not jog, be chilled enough for the rider to relax as...
