does anyone have any suggestions for a supplier of off the peg hunt coat with a breathable waterproof liner?

What terrible stories - sorry for you all. My worst had a happy ending luckily - someone lent me a feisty, skinny, stroppy little gelding to try out hunting - had a fab day on him. A friend drove him & 3 others back to the yard, he was due to be unloaded last. Silly bu&&er was so...

Yes, no, no, no! (in that order) But you knew the answer anyhow, didnt you?

you probably mean an aussie Dryza-bone - I've got one but hate it! You'll need waterproof chaps or trousers too if it's hosing down. http://www.drizaboneclothing.co.uk/store/Driza-Bone_Original_Wax_Full_Length_Coat.html#aDC01

vistors pay a cap of about £ 70-£150 depending on quality of day expected and day of the week in our hunt (Saturday higher to dissuade folk). very few hirelings around - "private" about £ 100/day, official hirelings about £ 140-170.

lol - where's Rutland?

if you feed them in the morning, make it v early & then give them a good run before leaving - that way they should have less need to go out whilst locked in.

I'm with Guildford on this, and wouldnt rush to over-bit him too soon, otherwise you may set a trend for life. Mine was ultra forward going at first too & initially scared me about jumping into a horse/kid in front, but we stayed in a snaffle. Hunt him as often as possible, as long as...

That was implied in the profile, Loopyloop - those glamourous urban chicks! Always fell for hopelessly unsuitable, wimpy types, but not no longer!

My sympathies, I suffer too. I'm fine until the last 30 minutes - then can barely talk in the warmup stage. My first jump is always cr*p, but then the training takes over and we start motoring! I've never changed, so my advice is don't worry about being nervous, its normal!
