I am on the Supporters Club Committee of my local hunt and we have just, in the last fortnight, created a Facebook page for hunt supporters. You have to be invited by members of the page and then this has to be passed by the admin. So far it's doing a great job for promoting hunt events going on...

Hi there, I just wondered if anyone could help with finding out more about my horse from his breeding. We bought him as a seasoned hunter with the Warwickshire. He has a Wetherby's passport and was bred in Kilkenny - his sire is Hubbly Bubbly (USA) and his dam is Ladysin. This indicates a racing...

Depends on your horse. As long as you and your horse are clean and smart, (and well mannered of course) you should be fine! :)

I can recommend the Grove and Rufford :) But you are too late for hound exercise, most packs are starting cubbing now.

Don't know about the South Notts but the Grove and Rufford, next country to SNH, have amble rides every year. This week was our fourth, I think there are eleven or twelve in total. Every tuesday at 6.30pm with bbq afterwards, they're great for introducing a new horse into a riding in a big group...

if there was a retweet button on here, I would press it now! I get far to cross to even look!

Lumps of raw meat and pork pies does the trick for us! Mine will eat anything!

Not sure if this is the answer you're looking for but... My local pack stopped collecting deadstock because it was costing the hunt too much money and they could not afford to buy a new incinerator. Instead they collect meat from the slaughter house. I am a puppy walker and my young pups enjoy a...

I have had my Thoroughbred X for almost six months now and have started exercising him more regularly (three or four times a week) due to having more time. All I do with him is hack, but in a bid to work him more I have taped a large section of his field off to school him in. Not used to being...

Sorry to be another media student asking questions here, but... If you were to see a new government policy introduced what would it be? Preferably horsey or countryside related? Thanks for any helpful replies. Polopony :)

I actually need opinions in my research, but if that's an unreasonable request, then no worries :o

Hi there :) As an A level media student, we get to choose the topic to focus our coursework on. Because I am very passionate about the countryside and fox hunting, I naturally wanted to do my work on the latter. My teacher said that the question must be media based and came up with - "How...

Bump?

Couldn't agree more, it depends on the horse. My only previous experience of galloping was on our old hunter, across a nice long stretch of grass. Had a bit of a shock when the new thoroughbred bolted with me after spooking, full gallop down a hill (that I must add, most people don't like...

I've had the new bobbo about two months now. Although he bolted with me on our second outing, so far things have been going relatively well. I've been taking him hacking once a week with two friends and he is definitely improving. However, we've been having problems with his head. I intially...
